EDWARDSVILLE - Edwardsville and Staunton boys basketball fans received an added attraction at halftime on Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026, cheering on members of the Edwardsville Unified Basketball squad during an exhibition. Fans and students remained in their seats at halftime and cheered on the EHS Unified players during the exhibition with strong support.

Edwardsville Athletic Director Amy Boscolo said the Unified program has been in place for years at EHS and has continued to grow.

“It is an amazing group of kids," she said. "We wish we could find more to be part of the program. It is so enlightening to see them play, and I am proud to see them do what they love,” Boscolo said.

Boscolo said Edwardsville has been “a Unified school” for “quite a few years,” adding that increased student involvement has helped the program expand.

“The Unified program is a lot of fun for the schools that participate, and the more students involved in it makes it grow into a special group. We are happy to showcase their skills at halftime. It makes the time so much more fun and exciting,” she said.
