Mix of local and regional talent on display at Boy’s Basketball Team Camp

Wanting to help build up basketball in Arkansas City and the community, the third year of the Boy's Basketball Team Camp was recently held inside Cowley College's W.S. Scott Auditorium.

A total of 18 teams participated in the camp.

"The team camp featured some high-level competition between some really good teams," Cowley College head men's basketball coach Donnie Jackson said.

The 18 teams at the camp were Oklahoma Class 5A state champion Midwest City, Derby, Maize South, Salina South, Ark City, Winfield, Ponca City, Tonkawa, Blackwell, Oxford, Central Burden, Wichita Independent, Kapaun Mt. Carmel JV, Blackwell JV, Ark City JV, Winfield JV, Derby JV, and Salina South JV.

"It was good for these kids to see our facilities and campus," Jackson said. "We hope to have a kid or two that attended the Team Camp to play for the (Cowley) Tigers at some point."
