The eight-grade boys’ Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) basketball teams from St. Adaldert’s, Elmhurst, and St. Joseph’s, Astoria, played a nine-minute game on the court at Barclays Center, Downtown Brooklyn, during halftime of the first game of the Coaches vs. Cancer college basketball classic.

Many young basketball enthusiasts dream of someday playing on a professional court, so these players got to experience that dream early.
