Mcadory lights up the dome for a Saints victory over the Falcons!
11/14/2024
Minutes before kickoff and just after player introductions, the lights go off in the Superdome. With only cell phones and jumbotrons to light the field, someone must flip the switch to get the game going.
On November 10, that someone was Entergy Mississippi’s Lineman of the Game Jimmy Mcadory!
Mcadory, who has been a lineman for 11 years and employed by Entergy for 3 and a half years, works from the Madison Network Office. He first started his career by attending Holmes County Community College’s lineman program. “I was working in construction and thought it would be a good way to expand my skills,” he said.
As a Madison County native, he’s not just serving customers. He’s also serving his own community. “It’s a rewarding job, especially during storms,” Mcadory said. His most memorable storm to work has been Hurricane Laura. “It was a long and tough job, being on the road for a month. But I we pushed through, and it felt good to be helping people.”
Mcadory and his wife, Taylor, enjoyed time on the sidelines watching the pre-game warm-ups, making friends with Gumbo the Saints mascot and enjoying food in the Patrons VIP tent.
Later, while Mcadory kicked back in the Entergy suite, a video starring him played across the dome. He was the opener of the four quarters of hard play between the Saints and the Falcon – with the black and gold snatching a win!
