VIA's Version of March Madness

Via, a Lehigh Valley human services agency dedicated to children with special needs. conducted its own version of March Madness this month, under the roof of Northampton Community College's Spartan Center. Over forty kids participated in an All-Star Basketball Clinic that went through some fundamentals, but was mostly just fun. The kids needed no lessons for that, but they may have taught a few things to local high school standout who suddenly began to smile.

Parkland Basketball star Brynne Brouse taught the crossover to Samantha Luirwick.

Emmaus guard Beth Wisley showed Brennan Naccaraethy how to make a corner shot.

Matthew Brawn taught Palmerton Forward Mikayla Krupa  to smile.
