Tim Grady Gymnasium at Mid-Prairie High School, saw the future of area basketball this summer as the Golden Hawks hosted their annual boys camp. More than 35 players in grades four through eight around southeast Iowa put in a week’s worth of work in Wellman. Those who attended focused on fundamentals, dribbling, passing, shooting and defending, putting those skills to work in three on three and five on five sessions. Campers also competed in three skills contests. Speed dribble champion for seventh and eighth graders was Oliver Miller, fourth through sixth grade was Isaiah Luers. Free throw champ for seventh and eighth graders was Oliver Miller, fourth through sixth grade winner was Ben Kite and hot shot champ for seventh and eighth grade was Will Grier with the fourth through sixth grade winner Riley Gordinier. The camp was held under the direction of Mid-Prairie head boys basketball coach Daren Lambert with members of his staff and varsity players assisting.
