Truly inspiring!
OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. – A blind 11th-grader never imagined she’d create this much excitement with her basketball skills. But with one fell swoop, she’s soaking it all up.The crowd of students from Zeeland East and West erupted in excitement.
“I was like, ‘Everyone’s staring me but I can’t see them staring at me, so this is good,’” Hoogland said.“She’s my eyes on the court because I don’t have my cane, so I have to put my trust in her to make sure she doesn’t let me get hit by balls. And she guides me in the right direction,” Hoogland said.The two knew each other in middle school, but the Unified Sports Program made the two grow together to be almost like sisters.
“I had never met anyone who was blind before, so i knew nothing,” Guffey said. “She put a lot of trust in me. And … we had a lot of trial and error. But we have come very, very far, and now we’ve been in a class together for the past two years.”“To watch the culture shift of our school community, really made a difference,” Unified coach Jessie Steel said.
Hoogland said before the game, she missed some of her practice shots. But when she scored, she felt like God was there.
