HUNTSVILLE — Harlem Ambassadors center Corey Thompson dances with two members of the Huntsville Hoopsters shortly after the Ambassadors tipped off against the Hoopsters Monday night at Huntsville High School. The Ambassadors defeated the Hoopsters 86-82 in a charity game sponsored by the United Way of Walker County and SHSU Alpha Tau Omega. The Ambassadors, a junior version of the Harlem Globetrotters made up of drug-free college-educated young players, performed a variety of dances, comedy routines and basketball tricks throughout the game.
