eagle88 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I am at ORU basketball camp with my 3 grandsons this week. The ORU players and Coaches are excellent with the kids ! My youngest grandson asked if we could rent Eli! I told Eli that and he loved it.They have such a genuine spirit and caring attitude. I have gotten to talk with all the players that are here. Sir Isaac Herron, Trey Phipps and Isaac Mc Bride look good. Elijah Lufille looks healthy and ready for a good season. It really is a family atmosphere here and so wonderful to see ORU thriving. Get ready for another great year! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle88 Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 I was told Isaac McBride is an extremely hard worker. Coach Upshaw had him demonstrate proper free throw shooting and he has a beautiful shot and makes most of them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eagle88 Posted June 9 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 9 Glad you all liked the pictures. I'll try to send a couple more tomorrow which is the last day. Just a quick story. I promoted the camp to the parents of one of my grandson's friend. He has attended camp and has loved it! The best part of it is the parents who are not Christians told me and my wife that everyone involved in the camp has been 1st class and that it just feels different at ORU! What a testimony to the staff, players and coaches. It is so obvious being there that the Lord is being honored in a great way! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle88 Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Last day of camp. My oldest grandson Jaxon and I had a great conversation with Sir Isaac Herron. What a smart, articulate , confident young man . He acts well beyond his years. After getting to know the players and coaches I believe we are in for an exciting year! One quick story that Coach Springman told me about Isaac. He got on campus last Saturday and Coach Springman said for Isaac to meet him at the practice gym on Sunday morning at 7.30am. Coach had a ride arranged for him. Well Isaac walked to practice through the rain and arrived at 6.45am so he could stretch and be ready to go. This staff and players are different!

darrenj Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I would give every camper that is there this summer one of those Sweet Sixteen T-Shirts as a camp gift! Just so they can walk around Tulsa with it on!:) Especially at team camp! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Thanks for all the pics, Eagle88. Brought back some fond memories for me of summer camps in "The AC" as a participant, counselor, and instructor. Looks like grandson Jaxon could already post-up Coach Mills on the block! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle88 Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 You're welcome Old Titan. That is awesome you were able to be participant, counselor and instructor! I am sure you would agree that anyone that can get get their kids or grandkids in the ORU camp it will be well worth it! I think I had more fun than anyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
