The Neuroworx Wheelin' Jazz made their annual visit to the Jordan Valley School to play an exhibition game against the faculty. The faculty played very well and came away with an 83-78 win. The faculty was spotted 20 points at the beginning but played hard and earned the win.
Bret Remington, Darrell Mauerman, Katie Terry, and Layne Mangum played for the Wheelin' Jazz. It took until the fourth quarter for the Wheelin' Jazz to catch up and take the lead. At that point, the faculty team was awarded 3 points for each shot and 5 points for a three pointer. That was enough to put them over the top for the win.
The goal of this game is to entertain the severely disabled children that attend the school. It's so much fun to see them laugh and have fun. The court is so small that most of the children get an up close and personal experience, sometimes painful but mostly fun. The ball does bounce off some of the kids but they take it and smile.
Thank you to the administration of the school for allowing us the opportunity to come out and have a positive impact in these special lives. We are truly blessed for being there.
