The Hampton Bays High School Baymen and Southampton High School Mariners, in conjunction with the Special Olympics, recently co-hosted a one-on-one basketball tournament at Hampton Bays High School on Thursday, November 13th.
The annual tournament gave Special Olympic athletes the opportunity to play alongside varsity athletes in eight-minute matches. The night included 54 players, team uniforms, referees, cheerleaders, play-by-play announcer, coaches and many supportive spectators.
In addition to the game, the event also served as food and winter coats. Participants and spectators were encouraged to bring items to donate.
