Pack the Gym

Monday the 27th kicked off Grizzly Gives week with Pack the Gym night! Pack the Gym is a night where students “pack the gym” to watch our Unified grizzly basketball team take on another team with the help of Ranch View’s Unified team. This fun night also includes a performance at halftime from our Unified Poms. This year our Unfied Champions took on SouthRidge’s Rec team.
Prior to the game, the team had a pizza celebration with cookies too while their peer helpers made posters for each team member for students staff and family to sign. The seniors got special decorated posters and there was even a poster for Sherpa Adam’s service dog. Xander (12) told me he was totally ready and that we were definitely going to win. Garrett told me that he was very excited for the halftime poms performance. Liann(12) told me her goal was to get a three pointer this game!
The game was a nail bitter; our grizzlies fighting hard throughout the first half. At one point alumni, Brady scored a three pointer and the crowd went WILD!
Halftime added to the excitement with the Unified Poms team performing. They all danced their hearts out to songs like What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction and Roar by Katy Perry. After the teams performance their was a half court shot competition where students and staff could donate a dollar for the chance to make a half court shot. A great way to collect donations for our Grizzly Gives Week!
The game ended in a close score but unfortunatly the Southridge won by a singular point. The Unified grizzlies did great this season and we can’t wait to see what they do this upcoming spring soccer season!
Thanks to all who came to support our TR Unified Team. If you didn’t make it make sure to show up in the next few weeks to watch Unfied’s incredible soccer team.
