(L-R Terrell, me and Anthony. Terrell was the visionary behind the tournament. He and Anthony served as referees)
We did it. InterVarsity Matador Christian Fellowship hosted its first ever 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament. We had nine teams sign up, with the team called “The 3 Bs” winning 75% of the pot.
It was great to watch 27 men (25 of whom are not involved with InterVarsity) battle it out on the courts. One of our seniors, Terrell, came up with the idea, and I credit him with doing most of the hardwork of getting the word out. (There were posters all over the dorms)
Renting the court: $30
Printing the flyers: $20
Seeing students step up and run the tournament: Priceless
IVMCF is by no means the authority on basketball tournaments. But tonight, I saw contextualized ministry. We have a lot to learn on how to engage the campus, and how to use basketball tournaments toward that end. I celebrate the shifting of our community’s culture, where students are taking more initiative in engaging the campus.

Nice, Eddy! I love the story.
So how did your team of you, Rhoda and Ruth do?!?
It was a $10 buy-in… I can’t afford that!
