The Special Olympic Basketball teams from Caldwell County finished their season at the state competition in Louisville over the weekend.
Caldwell was able to send two teams and cheerleaders to compete but to also enjoy the activities provided as part of the tournament. Coordinator Vickie Purcell is proud of the athletes and feels it is great to be able to send two teams to compete.
