The Shelbyville High School boys basketball program recently held its summer youth camp with multiple sessions for boys in grades kindergarten through eighth grade.

A total of 73 potential future Golden Bears honed their basketball skills under the direction of head coach John Hartnett’s coaching staff and players.

“This was a very satisfying week for us at the camp which seems to get bigger and better each year,” said Hartnett. “The players worked hard and had fun. We have so many who return to participate. Their basketball development from year to year is very evident.

“Our high school players did an excellent job of instructing and interacting with the kids as well. We really enjoy hosting the camp every year.”
