On Saturday, May 2, the Mariposa Miners Special Olympics team traveled to Fresno State for a regional Bocce Ball competition against Stanislaus, Kings, Tuolumne, Calaveras, Madera and Fresno counties.
The dangling carrot was pizza. They were promised pizza if they won the gold medal!
After a three-games round robin, the team made the most points and were awarded the gold medal.
They all sang “We Are the Champions” by Queen then enjoyed their pizza on the way home with their well-earned medals.
Coaches Shelly Gerken, Sheri Mace and Sarah Brewster were so proud of their amazing efforts and sportsmanship.
