The Vulcan Basketball Camp – featuring former coach Jimmy Yagi – is thriving this year.
According to a school release, 199 players ages eight through 17 took part Monday at the start of camp, which is running at UH-Hilo gym and Panaewa gym.
In addition to coaches GE Coleman and David Kaneshiro, former coach Bob Wilson and one of Yagi’s standout guards, Bill O’Rear (the T-H’s former longtime sports editor), are also camp instructors.
“We exceeded our goals,” Vulcans athletic director Pat Guillen said in a release. “We are grateful that so many area coaches came out to support and to also have Coach Jimmy Yagi, Bob Wilson and Bill O’Rear here, too, is amazing.
