The Electrical Division held an exciting game of flag football this past Saturday at Tradewinds Park. Eric Lopez organized the event as a team building opportunity. At the event, members of the Electrical Division played a friendly, but fierce,  7 on 7  game.  The team captains were Joe Wilson and Chris Patterson, and team members were selected by random draw. The final score was 33 – 22, with Joe’s team taking the win. Due to the success of the event, the Electrical Division hopes to put on another game in the future and get other divisions involved.

IES’ kickball team, “Don’t Stop BALLieving,” is in its 3^rd season, and the team is having their best season ever! So far, they have played 5 games with a 2-3 record. They have 2 more weeks of the regular season, and then an elimination tournament for the Championship. The team includes a blend of IES employees across divisions, as well some friends and significant others.

Each season there is a theme week and costume competition. This season was 80s horror movies, and the team went all out as zombies from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller!” In the past, the team has been “Snakes on a Plane” during Samuel L. Jackson week and “Tetris” for video game week. This season, when the team is not dressed up for a theme week, they wear light pink  in honor of Kelly Shipp and breast cancer awareness month.

Everyone is encouraged to come out and support our team, or see what the ‘serious’ sport of kickball is all about! Winter registration will be opening soon if you are interested in joining the fun. Please contact Amy Pearson or Sean Franey for information.
