Mahopac Unified Basketball to Host Brewster on May 28
MAHOPAC, N.Y. — The Mahopac Wolf Pac unified basketball team staged a furious comeback in a home game against Brewster earlier this month, falling just short before an enthusiastic crowd at the high school gym.

The program’s success has led Mahopac to add unified bowling to its athletic programs. With family, staff, and fellow athletes from Mahopac’s lacrosse, track, and football teams looking on from the stands, the squad fought back from an early deficit thanks to a 10-point run in the closing moments, but Brewster managed to hold on to win 38-28.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE TAPINTO.NET NEWSLETTER Mahopac will get a chance for revenge when Brewster returns to the high school, along with North Salem, on May 28 at 4 p.m. for the unified Wolf Pac’s season finale.
