Sixty-five boys and girls in third through eighth grade hit the hardwood for Riverview High’s annual Summer Basketball Camp June 1 through June 4. 

Participants were divided into groups and spent the week working on basketball fundamentals alongside Rams coaches and players. Players enjoyed participating in a variety of skills stations, including footwork ladders, cones and shooting, dribbling and defensive drills, before squaring off in a series of scrimmages.
