Special Game

The Special Olympics New York basketball team took on Siena College in a friendly game on Wednesday.

First a 15 minute practice, then the two teams went face to face during a 5 minute scrimmage.

Afterwards, Key Bank was on-hand to present tickets to all of the Devil Dogs players to attend Siena's last regular season game against Niagra, this Saturday at the Pepsi.

In total, local businesses donated 700 tickets to the game to youth programs around the area.

Devil Dogs player Charles Probst says, "It's awesome because I never played with Siena College and you know, I'm glad to be in the Special Olympics with these guys."

Siena Saints player Mike Haddix says, "It feels good to give back, because a lot of people watch us and a lot of people follow us so the support we get, it's great to just give it out to other people."

And if you're wondering, the Devil Dogs beat the Siena Saints during the scrimmage!
