About:
This year, the team has a manager named Mikey, who is a member of the Sharon Unified basketball team and also participates in Special Olympics basketball.
The boys believed that since Mikey consistently attends all of their games, it would be a wonderful way to demonstrate their support by attending his game as well.
“I was tremendously proud of our players and coaches who came to support Mikey for his Special Olympics basketball game. In the past, as a program, we have volunteered at “Basketball Stars” which is an in-town program for students with disabilities to play basketball on Sunday mornings and we have had former and current players who are a part of the “Friendship Circle” at Sharon High School which is a program to pair regular education students with special education students in a setting outside of the classroom to build relationships.” – Coach Andrew Ferguson
