In a state final against Woods Cross High, Herriman High’s co-ed unified basketball team came up short in their division in a hard-fought game.  

The Mustangs had secured the opportunity to play in the March 28 championship at the Delta Center after advancing from the regional Canyons-Jordan-Murray school districts’ tournament.

Unified basketball embraces students with and without intellectual disabilities to play side by side. The program, supported by both Special Olympics Utah and the Utah High School Activities Association, now boasts more than 200 high school co-ed unified basketball teams across the state.
