Three Special Olympics soccer teams -- one each from Lexington, Louisville and Northern Kentucky -- captured state championships on Saturday, Nov. 5, at the 2011 Special Olympics Kentucky State Soccer Tournament. Held at Central Park in Florence in Northern Kentucky, the State Soccer Tournament was making it's solo debut after being a part of the annual State Summer Games in Richmond since the sports was made a part of the Special Olympics program. And in that first year, the Tournament produced some of the closest competition in Special Olympics Kentucky History.
