Metamora and Limestone students with special needs will get their time to shine at Toepke Gym on Saturday night.
The two schools are taking part in a unified basketball game that will take place following the sophomore game (approximately 6:15 p.m.) and prior to the varsity game, according to Metamora athletic director Jared Hart. There will be a mixture of students, but the majority will be students with special needs.
Teams will play two, 10-minute halves with a running clock and a five minute halftime.
"Unified Sports is a way to celebrate the talents of students with special needs and gives them additional opportunities to participate in extra-curricular activities," Hart said in a press release.
