Wheelchair basketball squad teaches lesson
By Mick Garry
February 10th, 2008
Recently in Vermillion, I was part of a group of coaches, teachers and assorted bargain-brand luminaries attempting to take on the Red Dawgs, a youth wheelchair basketball team based out of Omaha.
The Red Dawgs range in age from early elementary to high school, and include both boys and girls. They play in regional and national tournaments throughout the year and have one of the top wheelchair youth programs in the country.
During pregame, the "Vermillion All-Stars," as we'd generously been labeled, took turns heaving balls at the basket while sitting in the chairs. At the other end of the DakotaDome court, the Red Dawgs ran plays and did drills while their coaches barked out instructions.
