On Wednesday Oct. 17, the Charlottesville Cardinals came to PVCC to play a pick up game of basketball. The Cardinals are a wheelchair basketball team that travel all over the United States playing pick up and competitive games.

“The Cardinals have been ranked in the Sweet Sixteen of the NWBA for the past 13 years, finishing #16 in the nation in the 2015-16 season,” according to their website.

Many PVCC students played along with four players from the team. The team Captain Tom Vandever #44, coordinated with Susan Hannifan, PVCC’s disability services counselor, to schedule the game.

Vandever brought three more players with him to play against the students and staff that joined in. Their names and numbers are  #32 Gino Wilson, #20 Eddie Wimbish, and #55 Brandon Rush.

Everyone played exceptionally well.
