The First Responder Games were created by Florida first responders in 2014 as a way to promote camaraderie through competition. They compete in activities such as cycling, basketball, softball, archery and many more.
This year's games are being held in Brevard County, Florida. They began on Sept. 16 and will continue through the 27th. However, the basketball portion of the games has concluded and the three teams of the Brevard County Sheriff's Department took home multiple medals.
According to SpaceCoastDaily.com, the women's team, The Lady Enforcers, went undefeated throughout the whole tournament. The women showed their exceptional talent and athleticism by bringing home the gold medal for the Brevard County Sheriff's Department. The men from the sheriff's department were divided into two teams due to the large number of participants. The news source reported that one team played in the more challenging Division I bracket while the other played in the Division II bracket.
The Division I team earned the bronze medal, while the Division II team went home with the silver.
