Over 427 Special Olympics Pennsylvania Unified Champion School bocce teams competed this year. Eight teams made it to the Interscholastic PIAA Unified Bocce Championship. One team went home State Champions.
That team is none other than the Blackhawk Cougars.
The competition we witnessed at the GIANT Center was remarkable. The precision, the focus, the sportsmanship, the camaraderie, the excitement, the determination. But with a game-winning roll in the semi-final round, Blackhawk had their sights set on the Championship Title.

Blackhawk's bocce team is more than just a team. They're best friends. A family. They look out for one another, and are focused on being their best, together. Throughout the last few years, they've taken the time to bond and connect on a deeper level to bring this opportunity to the table. And they delivered.
