The college players worked on drills for both offense and defense and help share some tools to help the area young boys develop their basketball game during the three hour clinic for rising 8th through 12th graders in the Roanoke Valley.

"As a sponsor, I was surprised that more did not take the opportunity of the FREE clinic to help improve their basketball skills from these former high school student who were willing to come home to give back to their community," said organizer Randy Wrenn. I want to thank ell the former players that came to give back to our community, the sponsors who stepped up to help provide this event and refreshments and all the players who attended the clinic, Wrenn added.
