Addison Bowden, a sixth-grader from Stars Charter School in Moore County, attended the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp at NC State University, led by head coach Wes Moore.
Lucas Cushing, a seventh-grader from West Middle School in Montgomery County, participated in the Carolina Basketball School led by head coach Hubert Davis at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Two local students practiced alongside athletes and coaches from top-ranked college basketball programs this summer, thanks to REMC’s Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarships.
“Addison and Lucas are outstanding students, athletes and community members,” said Nicole Arnold, communications and public affairs director at REMC. “We are proud to partner with two prestigious North Carolina universities to help provide such a unique learning experience for our local students and future leaders.”
The campers joined more than 50 electric cooperative scholarship winners statewide at the camps. Not only did they meet new friends and teammates, but they also stayed overnight in dorms and experienced life as a college student. At both camps, coaches and student-athletes worked directly with campers to develop basketball fundamentals and practice skills such as teamwork, to help them excel on and off the court. Touchstone Energy Sports Camp scholarships are available each year as part of Randolph Electric’s commitment to supporting youth and education in our communities.
