Youngsters looking for something to do during Spring Break can have fun and improve their basketball skills at the same time. Hoop Shooters Basketball Camp will be held at Kathryn Winn Primary’s gym Saturday, April 2 through Monday, April 4 from 4-6:30 p.m. each day. Boys and girls ages six to 12 are encouraged to attend.

After losing four of seven starters from last year’s team that finished 7-4, including the top three singles players and half of the No. 1 doubles team, it is understandable to consider the following season a “rebuilding” year.

However, talk to Carroll County High School baseball head coach Jay Jones, and you will find that he’s not concerned.
