"As a facility, we asked one of the coaches what we could do for the team, rather it be donate money, food, etc.," Wilson said. "The group of kids asked to come out and see our residents!" 

"As parents, teachers and coaches, you should be so proud," she said. "It means so much to our residents, staff and families."

"Thank you, Calhoun Warriors!" she said, closing out her post. "Now, go kick some butt!" 

Before their state appearances, the softball and basketball teams have visited the residents as well.
