Little Players to Show Off Big Game at Commack HS

New York Towers, an under 5-feet-tall basketball team will take on students and staff Friday.

What the players of the New York Towers lack in stature is made up for in high-flying talent.

On Friday at 7:15 p.m., the under 5-feet-tall team, will verse Commack High School's students and staff during the New York Towers "Below the Rim" Tour in the school's main gym.

The mission of the New York Towers players, who are also the three-time defending National Champions, is to promote athletic opportunity for little people athletes and allow the public to see that those of short stature still share the desire to compete and the fire to win.

Tickets are $5 per person at the door. Checks can be made out to CHS PTA in an envelope marked “CHS PTA Basketball Fundraiser” to Commack High School, One Scholar Lane, Commack, NY 11725.
