Basketball Bash

By Maria Angeles Linares

On Wednesday, November 23, 12 APD consumers and their two escorts set off on an exciting, fun-filled trip to see the Florida International University Golden Panthers play the Ave Maria Gyrenes in basketball. They were going to be guests of the Athletic Department at FIU. There was excitement in the air; the anticipation was palpable.

An Athletics Department representative welcomed the group and escorted them to their seats. Once inside, they had the opportunity to meet the team mascot and take pictures before the game began. Everyone was having a great time!

The game began, and the group was quickly swept up by the excitement and energy of the hometown crowd. Both teams played a tough game, but the Gyrenes were no match for the Panthers in the end. The crowd cheered on the Golden Panthers to an 89-72 victory.

The Agency for Persons with Disabilities wishes to thank the Florida International University Athletics Department for their generosity to the population that we serve.
