An eventful month for the Charlotte Rollin’ Hornets ended in the most spectacular of fashions this past weekend as the Junior Prep Team took home the National Wheelchair Basketball Association Championship (NWBA) in Louisville, KY.

This particular Rollin’ Hornets squad, comprised of athletes ages 9-13, defeated the Minnesota Rolling Rowdies, 32-26, for its first national title since 2009. Additionally, Head Coach Mike Godsey was honored with the David Ruback Legacy Award for his ongoing dedication and commitment to the NWBA.

It was a sensational finish to an up-and-down few weeks for the Rollin’ Hornets organization.
