Dover, DE (March 8, 2021) – The Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA) Unified Basketball Championship kicks off tonight. By partnering with Special Olympics Delaware (SODE), high school students with and without disabilities train and compete on the same team in the Unified Sports division. Participating schools, along with their athletic departments and administration, support Unified Sports and treat their SODE Unified teams as they do all other varsity sports — accepted, respected, celebrated.
In the North, Appoquinimink is the #1 seed, followed by #2 Mckean and #3 Middletown. In the South, Caesar Rodney is the #1 seed, followed by #2 Dover, #3 Indian River, and #4 Seaford. #1 Caesar Rodney will have a bye tonight and will await the winner of #2 McKean vs. #3 Indian River in the semifinals which will be held on Wednesday, March 10 at 6 p.m. Three quarterfinal games will be played tonight, #4 Seaford at #1 Appoquinimink, #3 Middletown at #2 Dover, and #3 Indian River at #2 Mckean. All games will tip off at 6 p.m. at the site of the higher seed.
Due to COVID-19, #4 Dover and #1 Caesar Rodney were declared the co-champions in 2020 after the tournament was cancelled. Glasgow High School won the DIAA Unified Basketball Championship in 2019.
