Crete-Monee Unified Basketbal Game
April 8, 2026/
The annual Unified Basketball game at Crete-Monee High School was a great success! This special event benefits the Crete-Monee Special Athletes and continues to bring the community together in an amazing way.
Organized by Michelle Calderone and her dedicated staff, the night featured a fun and competitive matchup as the Crete Police Department and Crete Fire Department teamed up with the athletes. Fans enjoyed raffles, door prizes, and plenty of excitement throughout the evening.
In the end, the Police Department came out ahead with a 35–24 win, but the real victory was the support and smiles shared by everyone involved.
