The McMinnville High School Unified Sports
Basketball Team won first place at the statewide tournament last
Saturday. Unified Sports® is a program that combines approximately equal
numbers of Special Olympics athletes and athletes without intellectual
disabilities (known as unified partners) on sports teams for training
and competition.
The team is coached by Colleen Rentz, Charlotte Smail and Mike Gower.
“They won all three games in their division and demonstrated amazing
tenacity and sportsmanship throughout the tournament,” said MHS Athletic
Director Mark Hinthorn.
