“It's just a big support to help them grow as a person, help them mature and it's just a great opportunity to have them come out and compete and socialize. All around its great for them,” said Charles White, Regional Director in Southwest Georgia for the Special Olympics.
Dozens of people took part in the tournament, with some teams coming from as far away as Newnan and Columbus.
