The Colts are known for beating their rivals on the court, but tomorrow night they will take on a different kind of opponent: cancer.

Half Hollow Hills High School West will play in the ninth annual Coaches vs. Cancer game to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The event has contributed more than $10,000 to the cause over the years.

Tuesday night's game will be a double header against Deer Park High School. The junior varsity team will play at 4 p.m. and the varsity team wil hit the court at 6 p.m.
