The schedule for this week on MHSAA.tv features Unified Basketball on Thursday (Feb. 21) and the MHSAA Team Wrestling Finals over the weekend.

Unified Sports bring together individuals of similar ages and abilities with and without disabilities on teams together, fostering friendship and acceptance through the power of sport.

Through this partnership, Special Olympics Michigan and the MHSAA share resources and networks with the hope of expanding the reach of Unified Sports and broadening the reach of youth athletic opportunities within a school.
