Honestly, I believe personally that Ohio basketball has suffered because these events have been held traditionally in Texas and Nevada.

Basketball is a game of runs, and we had a run they didn't match. Our pressure led to some quick turnovers and some threes. That run ended up hurting them late in the game.

This is the fourth year that coach Bias has helped with our basketball skills Special Olympics events. He and the members of the basketball and soccer teams at Fairmont volunteer and give us tremendous support for the competitions.

The events included a balloon pop, a scavenger hunt, a dodge ball tournament, a basketball tournament and a limbo contest. Everyone could participate and the winning teams got points that counted toward their Olympic score.

O.J., he's one of the most highly recognized players in the country. People are attracted to him. They want to see him play, and the best teams want to play against him.

To get to Columbus is nice, but I just don't want to get there. I want to finish this out.
