Crash. Bang. Wooh!
I looked up to see a physical therapy student rolling across the baseline of the basketball court at Charles J. Ping Center at Ohio University.
Her arms are up in exclamation and a volleyball is sitting in her lap. She is seated in a rugby wheelchair as her teammates finally found a way to score against the members of the Ohio Buckeye Blitz, a semiprofessional wheelchair rugby team out of Columbus, Ohio.
