Basketball Camp

Last week, Young Life hosted a Basketball camp for the students of Galena. I was blessed to be one of the coaches that got to help Cornelius Williams and Frankie King. Yes, Frankie King who played for the Lakers, Sixers and played with Tony Parker in France! IT WAS A BLAST! Thursday, Friday and Saturday were full of basketball games, drills and lots of fun. Cornelius Williams was a awesome leader and the Kids had so much fun. There were different levels of skill but our goal was to make each student better by the end of the camp. The kids played their hardest and enjoyed having coaches and helpers there to teach them. Plus having a NBA player here was probably the highlight of many of these kids lives. I know it was one of mine. How many kids can say I got to shoot hoops and learn from a NBA player?I got to play HORSE with Frankie and ALMOST beat him except he started shooting way out in the 3 point area and I am not good is that area. Frankie King was asked to autograph all kinds of things and got his picture taken with a lot of kids.... and of course with me. Do you think I would pass up a opportunity to get a picture with a celebrity? Of course not! hehehe He was a good sport and both Frankie and Coach Corn were awesome with the kids. We were blessed to here Corn tell his testimony and then hear him preach in church. It was awesome to hear how God changed his life. The week was a great time and I was blessed to be a part of it. O am also grateful to Keith who was Mr. Mom for the weekend while I got to play some Basketball.
