Elmont Memorial High School - Nassau County Champs
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.
The Mack Center was packed with students and community members cheering on the Spartans. Among the cheering supporters was State Senator Jack Martins. "These young men on the Spartan squad made Elmont proud, their families proud and County proud," said Senator Martins adding, "I also want to thank the team for inviting me to the floor to share in their victory."
As a result of Elmont's win, Senator Martins is also the winner of a State Senate bet between himself and Senators Chuck Fuschillo and Dean Skelos. The Elmont win means that Senator Martins and Elmont Principal John Capozzi and the Elmont Spartan team will host Senator Fuschillo and Senator Skelos for lunch in the Elmont Memorial cafeteria. At the conclusion of the game, twitter posts from Elmont students read: "Senator Fuschillo report to the cafeteria!"
