The Harlem Superstars Comedy Basketball Team is coming to Johnstown to play the Johnstown Dream Team for some fun and to share a message with area students.

The game will be played on Tuesday, March 2nd in the Johnstown High School gymnasium beginning at 7pm. 

The Harlem Superstars message to students covers anti-drugs and alcohol, stay in school, do your homework, listen to your parents & teachers, peer pressure, building self-esteem & building moral character.

The event is sponsored by the Knox PTSA which shares these same values and concerns for our students.  This message will be shared at an afternoon assembly to be held at each of the elementary schools and at the Knox Junior High School. 

The game will be played in the evening against the Johnstown Dream Team which is made up of Johnstown Faculty, administration and Community and led by Johnstown Varsity Basketball Coach Scott Hale.
