Sullivan Academy 3 games to 2 in the final round of play.

"Dodged, Dipped, Ducked and Dived to Victory!"

Victory is Theirs!

The Crumpler Academy team, also known as the Trailblazers (aka the Crumpinators), consisted of 2nd year students Jon Dashkoff, Christopher Luke, and 1st year students Daniel Chung, Nikki Croteau, DJ Gadaleta, Apar Gupta, Lindsey Storer, and Christopher Tonn.

The Crumpinators benefited from a first round bye due to the single elimination, blind draw tournament format.  They faced off against a strong Keefer Academy team lead by second year students Bill Hammond, Ben Isakson, and a red-footie pajama clad Stephen Alerhand.
