Saints show fundamentals to youths
The Advocate
The MHCC Saints hosted a basketball camp Tuesday for the Phonics Phactory-Mt. Hood Community College Basketball Camp.
According to Saints Head Coach Geoff Gibor, 50 kids from the private Christian school attended the camp.
“It is always great when we can do something for the community,” said Gibor. “I am sure the guys are enjoying it and having fun with it.”
Gibor also said it is great to help out the school because while education is their main focus, they also stress the importance of getting the kids out and playing.
Phonics Phactory Assistant Principal Debbie Mayer said it was great what the Saints were doing.
“I am so impressed,” said Mayer. “We had been hoping for this opportunity to come and it finally happened. We have always liked basketball here and are just excited that Gibor invited the kids here. I want to give a big thank-you to Geoff.”
During the basketball camp, the kids were instructed on how to dribble, do jump stops, lay-ups and work on defense and play games between drills.
“It’s fun,” said Gibor’s son Jordan, who goes to the Phonics Phactory. “You get to dribble the ball through your legs and run around and it’s just fun. I love watching my dad coach the Saints and when we win.”
“It’s fun,” said MHCC sophomore forward Jeremy Jones. “I love working with kids. For my senior project in high school, I put on a basketball camp for kids. It is fun working with them. I love to teach kids how to play the sport I love.”
