Wilson still our Official Ball

June 13, 2002

The Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA) is proud to announce that Wilson will once again be serving as the "official ball" for the 2002-03 school year. This is the seventh year that Wilson has supplied the balls for the IESA state tournament series in the sports of baseball, softball, girls and boys basketball, and volleyball.

"Wilson is making a major commitment to the schools of the IESA," said IESA Executive Director, Steve Endsley. "Each school that hosts a regional or sectional activity in these sports will automatically receive a Wilson ball that will be shipped to the school. This is a tremendous show of support by Wilson and I hope that our member schools will show their support by buying Wilson balls for practice and competition."

New this year will be the H7500 Reaction Volleyball. This volleyball is Wilson's top-of-the line and features a floating cover technology which provides the ultimate combination of softness, control, and speed. The latex power lining of the Reaction supplies greater speed after contact. This ball will replace the H6000 LE.
