Phoenix High School will debut its newest sports team, Unified Pirate Basketball, on Thursday, February 1 when the Pirates host Crater in an exhibition contest. Game time is set for 6:15 pm at PHS.
Unified Sports is a program that brings together students with and without intellectual disabilities to train and compete on the same team against other school teams of similar ability. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.
Coached by Kelleen Seedborg and Jeff Rhoades, the Pirates have been practicing on a regular basis in preparation for the game against Crater. The teams will also play on February 20 (5 pm tipoff at Crater High School).
Attached is a link to videos of South Albany HS and Corvallis HS Unified Bball teams playing last year. This video was put together by their leadership team.

The varsity boys' game will be the Channel 12 Game of the Week.
