Players from the girls and boys varsity basketball team hosted the "INSPIRE" group Saturday afternoon in a basketball game that was huge fun. The INSPIRE program offers children with disabilities opportunities for social, physical and inclusive recreation, regardless of ability, to enhance the quality of their lives.

The Evergreen players were on the court along with the INSPIRE players, dishing passes and helping keep the game flowing. It was all excitement on the court.
