Ok, so the school year is done and sometimes that is a good
time to reflect a little on the year.
While doing so I realized I never posted a picture of a great event we
were part of during our season.
Coach Eaton, our women’s basketball coach, spent a LOT of
time organizing an event for the Special Olympics of Western, PA. The special Olympic athletes and their
families were guests for our game against Penn State-Behrend. The neat part of the day was the athletes
got to play a basketball game in between the men’s and women’s games, which was
officiated by our coaching staff. The
athletes had a blast and the crowd was great cheering in appreciation
everything they did. It was a great
game that actually finished with a made bucket at the buzzer….exciting stuff!!
After the game was over the athletes wanted to get a picture
of themselves with some of our guys, so of course it was a neat moment for both the
athletes and our players.
Definitely a cool moment and one I wanted to share earlier,
but sometimes the year goes so quick you just don’t have time to share all the
great stories from it. But better late
than never and I appreciate the parents of the athletes sending me the photo
for our Blog so we could share the moment with others. Looking forward to doing something like this
on an annual basis as it really is something great to be part of.
Yours in hoops,
Coach Strick
