Miami Heat Wheels

Parnes Cartwright and the Miami Heat Wheels, Miami’s wheelchair basketball team, had their last scrimmage on Saturday in Miami Springs before the national tournament beginning Saturday, Jan. 17. The team is ranked first in the Florida Conference and eighth in NWBA’s Division III. Aside from their championship dreams, the Heat Wheels are facing another barrier: a community that’s still growing to understand, respect and support wheelchair basketball. Video by Michael Sharp
