CONWAY — Basketball with a message — that’s what the Harlem Rockets brought to the local elementary schools in the Conway School District on Thursday before squaring off against the Kennett Middle School All-Stars later that evening. The event benefits the KMS eighth-grade field trip to Philadelphia next spring.

Kevin “Showboat” Jackson and Jerome “Swish” Harris, who played for the Penmen of Southern New Hampshire University, made stops at Conway Elementary, John H. Fuller and Pine Tree Elementary schools Thursday morning to drum up attendance for the evening’s festivities and also to talk about respect. Respect for yourself, your family, your classmates and your teachers.
