Rain and Basketball: Claflin Panthers participate in Trinidad youth sports camp
By Claflin University Public Relations, Special to The T&D Thursday, August 14, 2008Taking a break from competition in the inaugural Trinidad and Tobago Hoops Classic, the Claflin Panthers visited a small recreation center in the foothills of the Trinidad mountains to teach basketball fundamentals to 6-12 year-olds in the island nation.
On the strength of their HBCU-best 24-2 record last season, the Panthers (including Preston Johnson of Denmark, S.C.) were invited to compete in the Trinidad tournament, Aug. 12-16.
This week, the Panthers’ exploits may be followed via a blog, Claflin 2 Trinidad.
Several new blog posts, including video from a recruitment reception, were posted to the blog Thursday afternoon. As the tournament progresses, additional posts and video will be added.
