March County Cup Bracketed By Madness!

By: Tim Moubray, Director, Orange County Parks & Recreation

March ’ s County Cup event was a bracket challenge! With UConn winning yet again this year, and with 41 out of 103 submitted brackets having them as Champs, the results of our entire Top 10 were decided on Monday night. After a rather impressive win by the Huskies, our County Cup Champion is Kayleigh Tellez, from Team DSS, with 85 points. Following Kayleigh, in a four - way tie for 2nd at 84, are Michelle Williams and Chris Cord (Team ECC), Brandon Bunce (Team Public Works), and Kerris Skinner (Team DSS). In the overall standings, Team Admin/HR is still holding on to the lead but big jumps were made by Team ECC and Team DSS. Our Champion, Kayleigh, will receive the much - coveted, framed certificate and a small art prize from Paint It Orange. For our April contest, we will be re - visiting a favorite, if messy, event from last year. That ’ s right ….. it ’ s the return of the Egg Toss. Each team can send two pairs of staff members to compete. Participants will toss an egg back and forth, moving back in increments of five feet with each successful catch. Should the egg break, that team is eliminated.

Next month ’ s event will be an egg toss!

Eggs can be dropped as long as they don ’ t break, but a successful catch must be made to move to the next line. The County Cup is an important part of our organization ’ s Cultural Initiative, which seeks to make Orange County an employer of choice, able to recruit and retain skilled employees. Look like fun?
