***Due to their 1st place finish in Division 1, BHS has the opportunity to apply to attend the National Games in Princeton, New Jersey during the Summer of 2014.  We are 1 of only 3 teams that are eligible to apply for an all-expenses paid trip to compete on the National Level.  We should hear back this Summer whether the adventure will continue. :)

Kulshan and Fairhaven were invited to the tournament but were unable to attend.  Hopefully, next year!



It seems strange to just report the final results and not be able to fully represent the joy, spirit, intensity, emotions and life-changing experiences that accompany participating in the Special Olympics State Tournament. Hopefully, the pictures capture some of those moments. It is an experience so hard to put into words, but with each year I attend, I am more and more humbled by how it can touch lives.  Thank you to all those who participated and I look forward to catching you on the field next year!
