This past Saturday was the KC Metro meet for Special Olympics basketball and cheer. It was at JCCC so we didn't have to go far. In the cheering there were 3 teams in our group. We took the gold medal. I do believe it was because we have 1 boy on our team and he is a huge flirt. When you have a group of high school cheerleaders as the judges and he is winking and big time flirting with them, you have an advantage. Basketball was a different story. There were 2 teams so we played the same team both games. They were the size of college linebackers on the football team. Oh and mostly boys and we are mostly short girls. SO we got stomped on the first game 30 to 4. We really only had 2 points because one of the baskets they counted didn't really go in. In fact it only hit the bottom of the net. The second game was a little better. We lost 8 to 18. Rachel did make 1 of our baskets and she was thrilled. They do have a good time and are thrilled to get a medal. We got the silver medal. Usually at the metro meet everyone gets a medal. There aren't as many teams so they don't put more than 3 teams per division.
