The “SRAT” team took home the trophy Friday night in Lipscomb’s annual dodgeball tournament, besting team “One Direction” in the final held in Fanning courtyard.
It was a tough fight to the top, but the Final Four consisted of “SRAT,” “Stranger Things,” “One Direction” and “Brentwood Moms” with “SRAT” beating “Stranger Things” and “One Direction” defeating “Brentwood Moms” in round one of the finals.
“SRAT” then played “One Direction” for a best of three out of five in the final round. “SRAT” won the first three matches to clinch their win.
Senior Glenn Hill played on the winning team, “SRAT” and said he had an “awesome” time for his first time competing.
“It feels amazing,” Hill said. “All of us are seniors, and this is my first time playing, so it’s nice to go out on top as a senior.”
The dodgeball tournament is an annual event held around Halloween at Lipscomb. Multiple teams are decked out in crazy and creative costumes competing in a dodgeball cage to win the trophy and bragging rights.
Junior Roman Ottinger competed on the “Mormons” team. Although they didn’t make it to the final, Ottinger said he had a fun time playing for his first time.
“Lipscomb Dodgeball is 15% dodgeball skill and 85% your costume,” Ottinger noted.
Staying in character, Ottinger quipped that his team would like for “everyone to become soldiers for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.”

The complete list of teams that competed include: “Harambe,” “Olympic Swimmers,” “Stranger Things,” “Meme Team,” “SRAT,” “Jungle Cat,” “JuJu,” “Brentwood Moms,” “Cereal Killers,” “Mormons,” “LU Hockey,” “Belmont,” “One Direction,” “Smackdown” and “Brave Heart.”
