MELISSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – The Ector County ISD Special Olympics program had two teams qualify from the Area 18 local tournament to compete at the prestigious Special Olympics Texas Summer Games held in Melissa, Texas.
Both teams representing ECISD took home the hardware in their respective divisions. ECISD Empire finished in first, winning the gold medal, and the ECISD Goal Busters finished third in their division, winning the bronze medal.
These victories for ECISD Special Olympics are a significant milestone in the program as they participate in a variety of sports throughout the school year. Those sports include softball, bowling, basketball, and soccer, and they allow the student-athletes a chance to develop their skills and experience the joy of competition.
Next up, ECISD is preparing for softball and T-ball in the Fall. The area 18 softball tournament will be held later this year on September 20th.
