Pawhuska Youth Sports hosts first basketball camp of summer

Late signups are encouraged for an elementary boys’ basketball camp that’s to be held Saturday in the Pawhuska High School gymnasium.

The Pawhuska Youth Sports-sponsored camp will be directed by Justin Barkley, men’s basketball coach at Rogers State College, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cost is $50 for a second- through sixth-grade camper.

In addition to professional basketball instruction, campers get lunch and a free T-shirt.

Members of the Pawhuska High School Huskie and Lady Huskie basketball squads are providing assistance with the camps. For more information, please call Jake Bruno at 918-287-7798.

An elementary-level camp for girls was conducted last Saturday by Jim Rowland, coach at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in Miami. Rowland, a Pawhuska native, has led the Lady Norse squad to 254 victories in 11 seasons — while compiling a exemplary .750 winning percentage.
