Tabor College students and faculty and Hillsboro Kiwanis hosted a Special Olympics basketball tournament Saturday, with more than 175 athletes from four counties participating.

Games were played in Tabor’s main gym and Student Activity Center.

The tournament is an opportunity for teams to develop needed experience before they compete in the Kansas Special Olympics State Tournament, March 15 through 17 at Fort Hays State University.

Tabor College and Hillsboro Kiwanis have sponsored the tournament for more than 25 years.
