Organizers for the Junior League, hosted again this year at Cross Creek in Decatur, reported a large number of campers, with boys and girls as young as seven and as old as 14 enjoying the game with the help of experienced instructors. The camp ended with a skills competition and a mini tournament.
Instructors for the camp were Mike Macke, Kyle Eichenauer, Jared Friedt, Gage Bressler and AJ Kalver.
High school players from both Bellmont and Adams Central were also essential in making the week a success. Those involved were Ava Billman, Lyla Post, Ella Hockemeyer, Morgan Huss, Kinley Martin, Audrie Drake, Lily Johnson, Melanie Eicher, Owen Minnick, Ben Binegar, Jacob Binegar, Chase Baker and Carson Manley.
Mike Macke, who headed the event this year, also thanked the Cross Creek staff for their help. Cathy Coshow, Leslie Brown, Maggie McConnell and Superintendent Travis all lent a big hand to the week.
