AROUND THE COMMUNITY

The ninth annual March Madness interdepartmental basketball tournament for Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community tribal government employees has come and gone, and it left with a familiar winner. Despite a slow start in the April 2 championship game, “Wrecreation” again came out on top. The team, composed of staff members from Recreational Services, beat “ECS,” the Engineering and Construction Services team, in a close game at Friendship Park next to the Round House Café. This year, 10 teams participated in the multi-week event, which is part of the WellPath employee health program. All games are played outdoors, unless weather is a factor.
