Basketball Players Help Fight Cancer

December 9, 2015 By Team Up 4 Community

The Herricks girls basketball program hosted New Hyde Park, Bethpage and Mineola teams in a Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament. All the proceeds went to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Foundation.

On the court, the Herricks High School players outlasted the competition in two hard-fought games to take home the tournament champion title. They beat Mineola in the first round 55-44, following the lead of sophomore Valentina Morakis (24 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks) and junior Chase McGahan (14 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, 1 block).

The championship game saw Herricks come back from a seven-point halftime deficit, winning 39-34 against Bethpage. Junior Alannah O’Shea lead the comeback surge with 15 points, 23 rebounds, and three blocks, while Morakis gave another strong effort of 14 points and 10 rebounds, earning her Tournament MVP.
