Summer Games

Special Olympics of Pennsylvania will be holding its biggest tournament: the Summer Games at Penn State University. I am an athlete for Berks County. Berks athletes will be participating in three sports:

• Basketball
• Softball
• Track and Field

I'm a member of the Berks Angels softball team. I play Left Center fielder. I'm pretty good on defense, although I don't make catches as inspiring as Chris Boyer, who plays Left fielder. Unfortunately, we will have to play without Rodney Delp, one of our star players. He had to be somewhere else.

We'll play preliminary games Thursday afternoon to determine which division we'll be playing in (Teams are sorted according to skill level, Div 1 for the best teams and Div 7 for the worst teams). We're pretty good, though not the best.

Last year, we took our rivals, Delco (Delaware County) into extra innings before they won. Maybe we'll beat them this year. I hope we don't get creamed. The tournament closes on Sunday. I plan on playing Soccer this fall.
