The rubber ball bouncing against the hardwood, the referee's whistle sounding a foul and the buzzer echoing throughout the gymnasium.
To the casual observer passing by, it sounded like any other basketball game, except there was not the familiar squeak of shoes running up and down the court. In its place was the clank of metal wheels grinding against each other and the thud of player and chair hitting the court after a foul.
It is called wheelchair basketball, an adaptive sport for disabled people, an it is not unlike any other game of basketball, the players just go about it a different way, said Donnie Langford, who has played the game for over 30 years.
