News Bouncing to build community ...and maybe break a World Record (Albany County, Colonie, Latham, Loudonville) Posted on: 09/25/09 Dan Sabbatino email: sabbatinod@spotlightnews.com  Students at Sand Creek Middle School attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most basketballs dribbled at once. Dan Sabbatino/Spotlight gathered to try to break the Guinness World Record for most basketballs dribbled at once, on Friday, Sept. 25. The record is held by the Indiana Pacers basketball team, at a little more than 3,000, said Jeff Zelka, the Parent Teacher Association president at the school. He said it is unclear if they will have the record until later on Sept. 25, when the sign in sheets can be counted, but the sense of commununity was the most important aspect of the day. "We're looking for ways to get together," said Tim Backus, the assistant superintendent for the South Colonie Central School District. "It's about building a community." The balls used will be donated to the Toys for Tots, run by the Marines and the Boys and Girls Club.
