Also Andrew Carlson scored from deep, Tyler Clyatt had several assists, Mitya Yavich scored, along with Kelly Mues, Brady Hammond, Nick Gonzalez, Bobby Hengfus, Mercedes Acosta, Nicole Chiafalo, and Christy Nelson all contributed for the Warriors.  Thanks to the partner players for helping to make things smooth as usual.  Thank you for our supporters who travelled to our rivals gym to back us up and make us feel like it was our own.  The Arapahoe Special Olympics Basketball team would like to thank the Warriors for “showing the love” and filling the stands last night at Heritage high school.  Our next game is a home game on Tuesday, Feb. 21st at 5:30...We play the LPS Transition team.
