Wheelchair Basketball

Karen and Ellen had been playing ball together for almost two years. At first, it had been hard for them to learn how to move their wheelchairs around the court. Now, though, they were the Tigers’ very best players. They had even helped their team become the state wheelchair basketball champions. Tonight they planned to become the champions again.
“Let’s go!” cried Karen as she grabbed the ball and wheeled toward the basket. Her team was on its way to another victory.
