The Plant City Family YMCA stayed open late for the kids to kick off its new "midnight" sports series with full and half-court basketball action and a DJ spinning tunes. Friday's session ran from 9:45 p.m. to 12 a.m., which will also be the case for next Friday's futsal night and the Jan. 26 basketball night.
Registration for future "midnight" sports events may be done online at ow.ly/FCb530hJ2OC.
