On February 22, Esperanza High School (EHS) hosted a Unified Sports Basketball game during lunchtime.\u00a0 This inclusive competition brought together Special Olympic athletes and general education partners to train and compete together on\u00a0two basketball teams — the Gold Team and the Cardinal Team.<\/p>\n

With a crowd full of fellow Aztecs, the\u00a0game\u00a0kicked off with Principal Gina Aguilar throwing the ball in the air for tip-off, and the student athletes were off from there.\u00a0 The game was filled with back-and-forth competition, but in the end, the teams tied with a final score of 199-199.\u00a0 Great job, Aztecs!<\/p>\n
