Kovsies ladies’ and men’s basketball first teams showed off their expertise on the court – hosting a camp for first-year students. Shooting hoops at the two Callie Human outdoor courts, the teams helped about 150 first-year students through drills, skills challenges and games.
Men’s first-team player, Clemen Kock, says the new-comers, a mix of first-time and experienced basketball players, had “a mad time” on the court learning new skills. “We are looking forward to a great year of academics mixed with some crazy basketball with a Res-Campus League kicking off soon.”
