Mesquite ISD Athletes Helped Special Olympic Athletes Further Their Love For the Game of Basketball

It’s a simple motto, but one many athletes often overlook. These special Olympians play for the love of the game. And on this Saturday afternoon, basketball players from Mesquite ISD were on hand to witness that love. 10 separate districts bring teams to this tournament which is now in it’s 12th year. And the joy they have playing the sport certainly rubs off on the volunteers. But to these special athletes, it makes a profound difference in their lives to see their peers show up and cheer them on. Always willing to help out, the North Texas Honda dealers helpful guys and gals were on hand as well. They helped keep score, distributed water and handed out medals at the end. The added help was much appreciated and helped the tournament run smoothly.
