WAPPINGERS FALLS - The 5th annual Orange Out Basketball fundraiser was another huge success.  Using the Arlington vs. Ketcham boys basketball league game as its backdrop, this event has raised over $15,000.00 for kids with cancer.   The annual fundraiser was initiated when a Ketcham student and athlete, Nick Scianna, was diagnosed with high risk acute lymphoblastic Leukemia on December 30, 2010,

In the game itself Arlington took charge behind the performance of Brendan Sunday and Dan Schweizter. While Ketcham got it to within 4 points in the 3rd quarter - Arlington went on a 17-5 run to put the game away. The Admirals are 11-0 after the 69-55 win and Ketcham falls to 2-11  - but the real winners on this night are the families who will benefit from the generous donations.
