Keesler's traditional summer pattern of afternoon thunderstorms is wreaking havoc on the intramural soccer season.

Rains cancelled games July 11 and 18, as well as Monday and Tuesday this week.

Intramural sports director Sam Miller said that double-headers are being scheduled to make up the rained-out contests.

As of Friday, the 338th Training Squadron B-team is undefeated with three wins to its credit in the East Division. The Dark Knights recently combined their A and B teams, creating a formidable force, blasting the 81st Medical Operations Squadron, 13-1, July 19 and taking a win over the 336 TRS-B, 7-0.

In the West Division, the A-teams from the 336th, 334th and 333rd TRS each have 2-0 records, while the 335th TRS and the Marine Corps Detachment are still seeking their first wins after two losses.

July 20, the 333rd TRS-A team beat the 335th TRS, 4-3; the 334th TRS-A defeated MARDET, 5-3, and the 336th TRS-A was credited with a forfeit win over the now-defunct 338th TRS-A team.

West Division games are Monday and Wednesday at 6, 7 and 8 p.m. East Division matches are 6 and 7 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. Some adjustments will be made to reschedule games. All games take place on the multipurpose field on Meadows Drive.
