Palm Harbor Kids Challenge Firefighters in Basketball

The exhibition game will raise money for a number of causes.

Can a team of middle school basketball players take on firefighters in a game of basketball and win?

That’s the question players from Palm Harbor Middle School hope to answer this Thursday. The team has challenged firefighters from Palm Harbor and Oldsmar to a battle on the courts.

The game gets under way at 5 p.m. on Dec. 18 at the middle school, 1800 Tampa Road. Tickets cost $5 for adults and $3 for students.
