The Mineola varsity basketball team took to the floor of the "World's Most Famous Arena." The Mustangs took on Bellmore-JFK on Dec. 27 in an afternoon game during the Christmas break. About 400 spectators were in attendance. Each player was responsible for ticket sales to subsidize the event. Bellmore-JFK presented each Mustang player with a long-sleeve T-shirt commemorating the event as a thank you for the opportunity to play in the legendary arena.

Although the Mustangs lost, it was a great experience for the athletes.
