“Are You Ready for Some Football?!?”
Stegall Home residents and other Special Olympic athletes attended the 8th annual Special Olympics Field Day at Wingate University on Saturday, August 27th- hosted by the Wingate Bulldogs Football Team. The Special Olympians were all paired up with a Wingate Football player and were taught how to sack the quarterback, catch and throw passes, spike the football and do their victory dance in the endzone! What fun! They were able to tour the locker room and weight room. The Special Olympians all got to wear the Bulldog practice jerseys and were simply given the royal treatment! They each received a Wingate Football t-shirt and certificate, and were invited to the Wingate Bulldog home games! Thank you Wingate University Bulldogs for the great experience- we can’t wait until next year- GO BULLDOGS!
