Harlem Wizards Taking On Stoughton Teachers, Principals, Alumni

STOUGHTON, MA — Stoughton teachers, principals and alumni are hitting the basketball court, and they will have some serious competition. The Stoughton All Stars will take the high school court with the Harlem Wizards from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 25 to raise money for Stoughton Youth Travel Basketball.

The Harlem Wizards are a world famous entertainment basketball team that specializes in trick shots, slam dunks and unconvential alley-oops. The team has been around for 58 years and prides itself on doing shows for schools and nonprofits around the world.

Tickets for the event are $15 in advance and $20 at the door and can be purchased at the Harlem Wizards website. There's also limited $40 court-side seats which include a 10-minute meet-and-greet with a few Wizards players, a poster and a $10 discount off a jersey.

The first 75 kids to buy a jersey ahead of time will get to be a "Wiz Kid," which means they get to warm up on the court with the team before the game and have your name announced to the crowd.

After the game, there will be a free autograph session. This is not a drop-off event. No kids between kindergarten and grade-6 will be allowed in unless they are accompanied by an adult.

There will also be food and drinks for sale to benefit the Stoughton travel team.
