RICK REILLY, THE COACH OF THE COUGARS, HAS BEEN COACHING SPECIAL OLYMPICS FOR DECADES.

SPECIAL GEAR, EVERYBODY HAS A DISABILITY BUT THIS GIVES EVERYBODY A CHANCE TO PLAY AND THEY LOVE BASKETBALL.

I ALMOST TEND TO THINK MY ATHLETE WHO IS 47 IS THE BEST RUNNER OF EVERYBODY BECAUSE HE DOESN'T GET TIRED OUT.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WHEN IT COMES TO ANY SPORTS TEAM.

COACH REILLY'S ONONDAGA COUGARS ARE ON THE FLOOR IN THE FIRST GAME OF THIS ADAPTIVE SPORTS DOUBLEHEADER, FACING OFF AGAINST THE GENESEE VALLEY CAVALIERS, A TOWN SOUTH OF ROCHESTER.

COACH REILLY HAS A COUPLE OF KEY PLAYERS TO WATCH TODAY.

NUMBER 43 FRANKIE REALE, NUMBER 7 MESSIAH "SMILEY" HAYGOOD, AND BIG NUMBER 24 JAY LOVE ARE A FEW TO KEEP AN EYE ON.

THE COACH STRESSES THE NEED FOR THE TEAM TO MOVE THE BALL, MAKING THE PASSES THAT CAN LEAD TO POINTS.

>> REALE TAKES THE BALL TO THE BASKET.

A GRADUATE OF SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY'S INCLUSIVE U, REALE NOW WORKS IN THE UNIVERSITY'S FACILITIES DEPARTMENT.

HE SAYS HE MODELS HIS GAME ON HIS FAVORITE PLAYER, KOBE BRYANT.

>> FRANKIE REALE GETS THE REBOUND.

GOES COAST TO COAST FOR A BASKET.

AND A FOUL!

WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE FOUL SHOT.

IT TAKES A GOOD LOOK AT THE BASKET.

HE IS UP AND IT IS GOOD.

>> NOTHING BUT NET.

>> NOTHING BUT NET.

THAT'S JAY LOVE - NUMBER 24 - BY THE WAY, AFTER A NICE PASS FROM FRANKIE.

HE BRINGS IT IN OVER TO NUMBER 24, JAY LOVE AND HE MADE IT.

SOME BACK AND FORTH.

THE COUGARS ARE NOW UP 4 POINTS.

CAVALIERS, OF COURSE, ARE DOING WHAT THEY CAN HERE.

THEY ENT UP AND IT IS GOOD.

THAT IS FROM DOWNTOWN.

MAN, THAT WAS FROM DOWNTOWN, WAY DOWNTOWN.

YOU GOT TO IS LOVE THAT.

THE CAVALIERS, OF COURSE, JUST KEEPING A CLOSE EYE.

A SHOT WENT UP AND MISSED.

BUT EVEN THE REBOUND, IT WAS A GOOD TROY TRY BUT I THINK THERE WAS A FOWL ON THAT.

THE CAVALIERS ARE AT THE FOUL LINE AT THIS POINT.

HE SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER ONE COMING.

AND HE DOES.

ALL RIGHT.

AND HE MAKES IT!

LOOK AT THAT.

IT'S A FIVE-POINT GAME WITH THE ONONDAGA COUGARS STILL LEADING.

OF COURSE HE IS UP AND SHOOTS AND LOOK AT THAT.

RIGHT IN THERE.

THE COUGARS MOVE THE BALL WELL.

>> SOME GREAT COMPETITION TODAY, SKIP.

WE SAW THAT.

THE GAME IS STILL VERY CLOSE AND THE CAVALIERS CUTTING THE COUGAR LEAD TO 4.

>> FOUL ON THE FLOOR.

>> A FOUL.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE THROWING IT IN AND THAT'S NUMBER 65.

A LITTLE LAST MINUTE DIRECTION FROM THE REFEREE.

THERE WE GO.

AND HE SHOOTS IT IN.

THAT'S A GOOD INBOUND AND IT WAS UP AND HE MISSED.

>> GOOD SHOT SELECTION THERE, SKIP.

>> A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH GOING ON HERE AND NOW IT'S COMING BACK.

NUMBER 65, TREVOR MONOTONE SENDS IT OVER TO 43, BACK TO TREVOR, HE TRIED TO MAKE THE SHOT.

WENT UP OFF THE RIM AND THE BACKBOARD.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TEAM IS PROVIDED BY THE BACKCOURT COMBINATION OF NUMBER 9 CHLOE PAYNE AND OLIVIA BAIST.

>> IT'S ME, IF YOU WANT THE BALL, IF YOU ARE OPEN, SAY OPEN, I'M OPEN BUT DON'T SHOUT AT EACH OTHER LIKE COME ON, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!

I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE AND LIKE PEOPLE YELL AT ME AND I DON'T LIKE IT.

SO I PUT MY FOOT DOWN AND LIKE I DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE YELLING AT ME.

WE ARE A TEAM.

WE PLAY AS A TEAM.

WE DON'T YELL AT OUR TEAMMATES.

>> SOME GOOD PLAYERS.

BUT THE WILDCATS HAVE BEEN BATTLING INCONSISTENCY, WHICH HAS HELD THIS TEAM BACK IN THE PAST.

THE ONONDAGA WILDCATS ARE PREPPING FOR THEIR GAME VS THE COMMACK SHARKS.

COMMACK IS LOCATED IN SUFFOLK COUNTY ON LONG ISLAND.

SO WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE, JACK?

THEY'RE LOOSENING UP TO GET READY TO PLAY?

YOU DON'T WANT TO GO OUT ON THE COURT AND BE ALL TIGHT, RIGHT?

YOU NEED LOOSEN ALL YOUR MUSCLES AND ALL THAT.

>> YEAH.

>> PRIDE AND JOY, SKIP.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO PUT IT.

I LIKE THAT, JACK.

PRIDE AND JOY.

ALL RIGHT, THE WILDCATS, HERE WE GO EARLY IN THE GAME, IT LOOKS LIKE OLIVIA BAIST PASSES TO HARRY DYDO NUMBER 15, CHLOE PAYNE LOSING THE BALL BUT I STAS WITH THE WILDCATS.

HARRY DYDO GETS INSTRUCTIONS FROM COACH MATT.

TIM RANGER, BY THE WAY TIM IS NUMBER 10, GETS THE REBOUND AND PUTS IT IN FOR THE WILDCATS.

HARRY DYDO HAS GOT IT AGAIN.

IT'S A LONG JUMPER AND HE DOES IT.

HE MADE ANOTHER LONG SHOT.

HE IS PUMPED UP.

>> LIKE 2006 VINTAGE JERRY McNAMARA STYLE RIGHT THERE.

FUN FACT ABOUT HARRY, HE WAS A TEAM MANAGER FOR THE SYRACUSE ORANGE WHILE IN COLLEGE AT INCLUSIVE U.

HE WORKED ON HIS SHOOTING WITH BUDDY BOHEIM • WHO NOW PLAYS IN THE NBA WITH THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER.

NOT SURE IF BUDDY CALLS HARRY FOR SHOOTING TIPS, BUT HE DID TEXT HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY RECENTLY.

WE DO HAVE A SCORE OF 9-6, THE WILDCATS ARE BEATING THE SHARKS RIGHT NOW.

CHLOE IS DOWN, THEY'RE CALLING FOR THE TRAINER.

THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THINGS.

SHE MIGHT HAVE HIT HER ELBOW.

THEY'RE CALLING FOR A TIMEOUT.

YOU BANG YOUR ELBOW.

WE ALL HAVE HIT OUR FUNNY BONE AND IT HURTS.

>> I HOPE SHE IS OKAY.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THEY'RE TAKING A GOOD LOOK AT HER NOW.

A LITTLE REASSURANCE.

AND I'M SURE SHE IS GOING TO GET BACK UP AND GO RIGHT BACK AT IT.

IT'S JUST GATHERING YOUR THOUGHTS AND, YOU KNOW, KNOWING EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY.

>> IT WILL BE OKAY, SKIP.

>> IT WILL BE.

VERY NICE.

THERE SHE IS.

SHE IS UP.

SHE IS BACK ON HER FEET ALL RIGHT.
