MASTIC BEACH, NY — A dedicated group of young athletes teamed up to fight back against cancer recently.

The William Floyd High School girls’ varsity and junior varsity basketball teams recently raised $814 in the “Score for a Cure/Coaches Versus Cancer” fundraiser, to benefit the American Cancer Society.

The young athletes held a bake sale, sold T-shirts and collected donations from friends and family to help raise funds, the district said.
