There probably isn't a better way for a basketball fan to spend $3 than to travel to the Westchester County Center on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. That will get you a full day's admission to the Slam Dunk Challenge. The 16-team event is highlighted by an eight-team boys bracket, which includes reigning Section 1 champions Peekskill and Briarcliff, and defending tournament champion White Plains. Upstate power Jamesville-DeWitt features star junior Brandon Triche, a major Division I recruit, and Port Chester's Jordan Henriquez and Stepinac's Tony Taylor are part of a star-studded field. Games begin each day at 11:15 a.m.
