Basketball buddies

It’s always fun when friends play friends, and that’s what happened when two fifth-grade teams met up on the basketball court. The game was between the Green Grass and the White Tigers, who had faced off recently in the Westchester Basketball League. The competition was fierce, but what truly captivated their parents was the sight of the players coaching themselves on the court. The teams were made up of (pictured, from left) Ruan Jacobs, Konstantinos Dimitrakakos, Greyson Zazzi, Harris Rondon, Carter Woodward, Charlie Melancon, Barrett Cobbs, Brooks Hendrick, Kameron Bousheri, Austin Reichenau, Coleman Maedgen, Gray Casey, Jaxon Rudolph, Connor Oatman, Aidan McKnight, and Michael Melancon.
