FORT HOOD, Texas, Oct. 30, 2010--Stealing from his opponent was easy, but now 1st Sgt. Eric Bigness has to decide who in blue can shoot for two. Bigness, 2nd Battalion, Warrior Transition Brigade, was just one of the WTB's 2nd Battalion Soldiers participating in a wheelchair basketball demonstration with the Harker Heights Hustlers, an adaptive sports team with Harker Heights Parks and Recreation Adaptive sports program. Although the Hustlers walloped 2nd Battalion with a score of 59-10, the game was about friendly competition and recognition of October's National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
