For the second year in a row, Team Scott's professional organizations came together for the Pro-Org Games, hosted by First Four.

The honor of first place went to First Four for basketball, the First Sergeants for dodge ball and Top Three for wally ball.

First Four started the Pro-Org Games last year with just basketball, but after a successful event, the games were hosted again, but this time adding dodge ball and wallyball to the games.

"I had the idea last year to boost morale and it went well," said Senior Airman Adrian Washington-Hall, 375th Medical Group patient administration technician and First Four member. "I did it again this year to again raise morale and meet new people. This year we even got members of different branches to play, so I was really happy about that."

Different professional organizations played against each other in all three sports Sept. 20-22 at the James Gym often only allowing certain players a few minutes of rest in between events.

"I really enjoyed watching the First Sergeants play because they were so competitive," said Airman Washington-Hall.

Although it was a competition, a lot of the athletes were able to take the time to get to know their opponents.

"The games were good for camaraderie and getting to know people," said Master Sgt. Dean Smith, U.S. Band of Mid-America's first sergeant. "It may sound goofy, but it was cool to see people's faces and see which groups they are with, it was good networking."

Each of the winners received a certificate and trophy, as well as bragging rights.
