< Back
Neenah High School’s Special Olympics basketball team will compete in a prime time game in the Ron Einerson Fieldhouse following the varsity boys basketball team’s annual “Meet the Rockets” night on Nov. 20.
The boys basketball team will hold its annual “Meet the Rockets” event at 6 p.m. Afterwards, fans will have a chance to meet and cheer on the school’s Special Olympics squad. The Special Olympics team will also be a part of the “Meet the Rockets” event and will judge the varsity team’s slam dunk contest. The Special Olympians will also take part in a skills competition.
The night will be made extra special with the pep band in attendance and athletes from all of Neenah High School’s other athletic teams attending. The Special Olympians will compete in a game against a team of high school staff members around 7:15 p.m. The event is free admission, however, donations toward Special Olympics will be accepted between the skills competition and the Special Olympics game.
Neenah is one of a small number of Wisconsin high schools to sponsor its own Special Olympics team. Neenah’s Special Olympics team plays in a variety of tournaments against local schools and organizations throughout the winter. The season culminates with a regional tournament and skills event in March.
