Members of the Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School Junior Varsity and Varsity Girls Basketball teams joined forces with the Suffolk County Girls Basketball Coaches Association in their efforts to join coaches across the country in the fight against cancer. The teams purchased T-shirts to support this event and requested $1.00 donations for the American Cancer Society. In return for each contribution, a paper basketball was hung on the trophy case in the school’s main lobby to honor a loved one who had been, or is currently, battling cancer. Together, the teams raised more than $350 to donate to the cause.
