High Potential Blue Chip Basketball Offensive Camp (Rick Bolus) June 29, 2021

 

The phrase “athletes are born, shooters and offensive players are made” serves as the mantra for this camp.  This camp was open to both girls and boys regardless of position.  The veteran staff will teach offensive moves, 3 point shooting, quick release, basic form, free throws, catching and shooting, squaring up, proper foot work, shooting off the pass, shooting off the dribble and features competitions, awards, camp evaluations, and lower player/coach ratio. This camp was held at MidAmerica East Sports Center in Louisville, KY.

 

This camp was well received by the players and they worked hard with enthusiasm and impressed the veteran staff with their work ethic.  There were three groups referred to as the middle group, girls group, and high school boys group. 

The middle group award winners were Free Throws – Perry Roberts 5-5 8^th Grade Pleasant Hill Middle School Pleasant Hill TN, Knockout – Joseph Mason 6-1 8^th Grade Oak Ridge Christian Academy Morgantown KY, and MVP Maddox Lanham. The girls award winners were Free Throws – Bailey Poole 5-2 Jr. Hancock Co. Lewisport KY, Knockout – Carrie Hiler 5-7 So. Scottsburg IN, MVP Bailey Poole 5-2 Jr. Hancock Co. Lewisport KY.  The high school boys winners were Best Hustler – Ty Wilson 5-10 Sr. Community Christian Academy Paducah KY, Best Shooter – Micah Engle 6-5 Sr. Lynn Camp Corbin KY, and Best Offensive Player Holton Compton 6-6 Sr. South Spencer Rockport IN, and Best Prospect - DeVaughn Townsend 6-3 Jr. Lloyd Memorial Erlanger, KY.

Several players impressed at this camp with the opportunity to play at the next level.  I was intrigued with 7-2 So. John Bol.  Bol is a young long, slender player who challenges every shot, rebounds, and has a rapidly improving offensive game.  He plays with a lot of enthusiasm and really appears to enjoy the game.
