State Senator Jack Martins and the 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament committee announced that the 7^th annual 3-on-3 tournament will be played on Saturday, July 16^th at Dutch Broadway School in Elmont at the Assemblyman Tom Alfano basketball courts located in the rear of the school. A raindate has been scheduled for July 17^th. The tournament is free and there is no cost to participate.

He has been called Elmont’s “Haitian Sensation,” “The Hit Man” and “Vicious Vey,” but the most important name that Elmont resident Herve Duroseau cherishes is the name “Dad.”

This past Monday, Herve “Haitian Sensation” Duroseau was honored by State Senator Jack Martins for capturing the NY Daily News Golden Gloves boxing match in Madison Square Garden  this past April. Duroseau was invited to the State Capitol where he was honored on the floor of the New York State Senate with a legislative resolution sponsored by Martins and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos.

“This is a great day for Herve, Nathalie and Elmont,” said State Senator Jack Martins noting, “I join the entire Elmont community in congratulating my friend Herve who has not only brought home the golden gloves, but has shown everybody in New York that Elmont has one of the greatest young men to ever step in ring!”

A friendly wager between two State Senators was settled at Elmont Memorial High School with fanfare and good food this past Friday. Senator Jack Martins’ and Senator Chuck Fuschillo’s bet over the Nassau County Championship Basketball title was settled in full at the Elmont Memorial High School cafeteria in front of a standing room only crowd.

In one of the most dramatic basketball games in local memory, the Elmont Memorial High School Spartans come from behind victory against Baldwin today at the Hofstra University Mack Center to win the Nassau County Championship! The win for the Spartans caps an incredible season of games and records shattered for Elmont Memorial.
