For the second year, Montague County All-Stars hosted its annual Fall Games at Saint Jo High School Oct. 21.

Representatives from nearly every county elementary and high school took part in the day-long event. Students with assorted disabilities learned how to play basketball in the morning and volleyball in the afternoon.

Helping teach the finer points of both games were players and coaches from all the area high schools. Individual skills such as passing, dribbling, and shooting were taught in one of the school’s gyms before athletes were broken up into teams and played timed games in the other gym.

Some of the younger athletes had issues with the ball dribbling and got hit in the nose. Eventually they all got the hang of it, one even getting a basket.
