BRENHAM’S SPECIAL OLYMPICS UNIFIED BASKETBALL TEAM WINS GOLD MEDAL

  

Brenham’s Special Olympics Unified Basketball team earned a Gold Medal at last weekend’s opening tournament.  The team faced their first competition at the New Caney Classification Tournament last Saturday.

Special Olympics Unified Sports teams are made up of people of similar age and ability with and without intellectual disabilities. This concept was inspired by the idea that training together and playing together can build both friendship and understanding.

Brenham ISD Special Olympics Coordinator Angela Moore said, “I couldn't be prouder of all the hard work they have put in to the team. Job well done!”

The team will compete again at the Area level in March. (Story and photo courtesy of Brenham ISD)
