1986 Press Photo Rita Doro of the Green Lake Special Olympics basketball team

After playing the entire game, Doro took a break to savor the victory and bask in the joy of her success. --- Rita Doro is not tall. She doesn't have the skills of a National Basketball Association player and can't slam dunk. But don't tell her she isn't a heroine on the basketball court. Don't tell her she doesn't have the heart to be a winner. For four quarters Friday, Doro, 38, was a blue-chip player as she sparked her Green Lake Special Olympics basketball team to a 30-29 victory in the Wisconsin Special Olympics Indoor Sports Tournament. Dwarfed by other players, the Olympian from Berlin, Wisconsin, played the entire game, cheering, scoring and encouraging her team to victory.
