Video: An Amazing Moment for a Zeeland Michigan Student
Zeeland school district has a basketball league for those with disabilities and late last week one of the players made Sportscenter!
She is known as Jules as plays for Zeelands unified basketball team. Last week almost 3,000 people cheered her on as she made her first basket of the season.
Jules has worked so hard over the years at getting the feel for that shot,” said Nate VandeGutche, a teacher at Zeeland West High School.
The video of her shot racked up more than 2.3 million views by Friday.
It’s the fifth year the district is participating in Special Olympics’ Unified Sports program, according to Zeeland Public Schools.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio.
