We brought together seven of our finest to form the supreme team to compete in this year’s Summer of Mud Dirty Dodgeball tournament, where 12 groups fought for the No. 1 title – and the chance to take home a slew of Screaming O goodies.
Each year teams from all over convene in Southern California where the infamous annual 5K Irvine Lake Mud Run goes down, and this year The Screaming O brought our arsenal of gym class heroes to show the rest who’s boss. With T-shirts, banners and free products in hand, the signature team plastered the 50-foot Dirty Dodgeball court with telltale red-and-white memorabilia in preparation for the ultimate showdown.
“We got beat by a nationally winning team and they were absolute beasts!” Screaming O Team Captain said. “First place may have won a big bottle of Champagne and bragging rights, but The Screaming O took home the title of most popular team, without a doubt – besides, all that matters is that we had a Screaming good time!”
We survived intense 5-minute halves without much care for rule books or keeping it clean and in a pit of mud 12 teams slipped, slid and splashed while hurtling rubber balls at each other’s bodies.
We know how to have fun while reminding the rest of the world that it’s always more fun with a Screaming O! Congrats to the winners, but obviously we’re most proud of our courageous team members who stood up and represented the O with finesse.
