KANNAPOLIS, N.C. — Students and their families experienced a fun-filled afternoon when a trick basketball team held an exhibition game at Kannapolis Middle School.

The Harlem Wizards bounced onto the school court on Sunday to fulfill their “unique mission to create awe-inspiring events throughout the country for families while having fun.”

Students could buy tickets for $7.50 and others had to pay $12.50 for the 3 p.m. game.

The Wizards came to Kannapolis through their assembly program, which aims to bring an educational message on teamwork through entertainment.
