Wednesday, March 22nd was a great day to be a MDI Trojan. The whole school gathered in Bernard Parady Gymnasium at 1 p.m. for the basketball game between the MDI Unified Basketball Team and the High School Faculty and Staff Team

After the Faculty and Staff Team was introduced, the Unified Basketball Team came out to "Jesus Christ Superstar" played by the MDI Pep Band! They were then introduced.

Thanks to the many staff and faculty who were cheerleading on the sidelines!

As is the case in any Unified Game, there was a huge dance party at halftime. The entire school danced to "Cotton-Eyed Joe", "The Caspar Slide" and "YMCA"

The Unified Team beat the Staff and Faculty Team, but as in all Unified games, there really wasn't a winner and loser.
