A 13-year tradition at Mohegan Sun is 31 stories up.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — High-limit gaming is nothing new at Mohegan Sun except when it happens on the roof of the casino; That happens at the end of each Summer for the “Over the Edge” challenge. 

For 13 years, mild-mannered folks have channeled their inner superhero to rappel down the Sky Tower to raise money for the Special Olympics of Connecticut.

“It’s a sold-out event with well over 90 participants,” said Debbie Horne, the director of communications and marketing for the Special Olympics of Connecticut. “We’re hoping for over 100 thousand dollars, and I think we’re super close to our goal if we haven’t met it.”

“Over the Edge is a company that supports non-profits by going down high-rise buildings,” said Daryl Byrne, the site and safety supervisor for “Over the Edge.” and a retired firefighter. “Some people come with no experience at all, trying to hang their backsides off a building and be able to go down it – so it encourages them to take a step that maybe they’ve never taken before.”

As the day progressed, dozens and dozens of people finished descending the Mohegan Sun Sky Tower, all with a lifelong memory. 

Al Gorski, a Connecticut State Police detective said after he came down the 270-foot tower, “It was fun, it was something exhilarating, and something different.” 

“It doesn’t get old, it’s always something good and trying to do something good for somebody else,” said Byrne.

Winners of eight of their last nine games, the red-hot New York Liberty can cool down the Connecticut Sun’s hopes of overtaking them for the top spot in the Eastern Conference Thursday night at Mohegan Sun Arena.

The Liberty (25-7), who have already beaten the Sun (23-10) twice this season, can claim the season series from Connecticut and move 3 1/2 lengths in front of the defending conference champions with seven games to play.

New York eclipsed the Sun, 81-65, at Barclays Center on May 27 behind Breanna Stewart’s 27 points.

The Liberty backed that up in their last visit to Connecticut on June 27 as Stewart poured in 24 points and former Sun star Jonquel Jones added 14 points and 11 rebounds.

New York rebounded from its lone loss in the last three weeks, an 88-75 setback at Las Vegas, with Friday’s 85-63 win in Phoenix.

Betnijah Laney scored 22 points and Sabrina Ionescu added 18 for the Liberty, who improved to 3-1 on their ongoing six-game road trip.

Having played their fifth game in seven days, including an Aug. 15 Commissioner’s Cup championship game triumph at Vegas, the Liberty were relieved to get some well-deserved rest before this tilt.

“Now we can relax a little bit. Go home, get some rest and prepare for who we have next,” said Laney.

Jones spent her first six seasons in Connecticut, helping…
