Unified Basketball

On Wednesday, April 28th, the Unified Basketball Team showcased their skills and talents during an assembly game versus Queensbury's unified basketball team.

The Granville students cheered on both teams, with every try, miss and hoop made.  Seeing the unified teams soar in confidence with the Granville students cheering them on, was heartwarming to say the least.

Here are a few pictures.
