Athletes from the Hancock County Pride, representing Special Olympics, faced off Tuesday afternoon against members of Weirton Firefighters Local 948 and Weirton Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 84 in a flag football scrimmage. The matchup, organized as part of local Disability Independence Week events, was held in the gymnasium of the Millsop Community Center as a result of anticipated weather.
