The Mineola High School boys varsity basketball team plays host to the annual Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament. The four-team match-up takes place on Wednesday, Dec. 7 and Friday, Dec. 9 at the Mineola High School gym. In the first semifinal on Wednesday, New Hyde Park faces Herricks, followed by Mineola against Carle Place at 7 p.m. Because it is a charity event, there is an admission.
