The Niagara-Wheatfield junior varsity and varsity girls basketball players were big winners off the court, raising more than $1,000 for the American Cancer Society. They collected donations, sold donor cards and pink wristbands to raise the money. The N-W marketing classes joined their effort and sold pink cancer shirts, donating $2 from every shirt sale to the cause. When it is all tallied, they expect to have raised nearly $1,500.

Both teams were winners on the court as well on Feb. 17 against Lewiston-Porter. The varsity girls won 65-58, led by Rachel Pawlak's 21 points and Melissa Smith's 17 points. The junior varsity girls won 32-13, as Allison Rickard and Bailey Milleville combined for 16 points.
