The Arapahoe Warriors Special Olympic basketball team celebrated a victory over Heritage last night by a score of 64-52. The Warriors took an early lead and never looked back scoring at will against the Eagles. The team showcased their always improving offensive prowess scoring from inside, down low and from their ranged shots. In their biggest team showing this year ALL the players scored at least once. Also, showing off their hustle the Warriors showed what has become standard in stealing the ball from the opponents at critical times, often leading to fast-break points. Justin Simmons scored another career high in points last night, Billy Williams and Kevin Stone showed of numerous different shots that the Eagles couldn't stop. 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.
