CAPITAL REGION, NY (WRGB) —
Albany residents have the NCAA tournament in their backyard this weekend, and Sunday, a 14-year-old will have a very special experience because of that.

Saturday, Upstate Chevy Dealers granted 14-year-old Garnat Turner's wish of going to an NCAA tournament game with four tickets to Sunday’s action, but not only that, Make-A-Wish Northeast New York is also building a basketball court in his backyard. He wants to have a tournament out there this summer, and will be watching closely when he sees the current college athletes go at it on Sunday.
“It has colleges that are playing there so that I have an idea for when I go to college to play for March Madness or whatever. All I have to say is thank you so much for the tickets, it's really thoughtful of you. I can't say thank you enough.”

He received 4 tickets from Nick DeNooyer, and says he hopes to play not only in college, but in the NBA someday.
