Little Cats
Fundamental Camp
Running from
June 15th through the 18th, Cambridge High School will be offering a
basketball camp for boys in grades 3 - 9 (incoming). Each boy
in the district was given a form for camp; however, if more are
needed, extra copies were placed in the offices of each elementary
and at the middle school.
Denison Shootout
After travelling to Marietta in the first weekend of our
shootout/league season, the Bobcats hit the road to Denison
University on Friday, June 12th. The 'Cats drew Pickerington
North in the first game, but after a back-and-forth game in the
first half, the blue and white found themselves down to a very
athletic Pick North team and dropped the first game by 11. In
the second game, the 'Cats found a little redemption as they bested
Licking Valley. The Bobcats jumped out early on LV, 19 - 5,
but had to fight off Licking Valley's second half scrappiness to
hold on for the win. In the third game, Cambridge took on
Newark Catholic for the second time in two days as the school from
Newark also plays in our summer league. In league action, the
'Cats lost by six, and at the shootout, Cambridge closed that gap
only losing by three to a team that returns four starters from a
2009 Regional appearing team. In the final game, Cambridge
encountered a see-saw affair with Columbus Bishop Hartley and pulled
out a heroic victory in overtime. After losing six seniors,
the Bobcats are continuing to rebuild and get better with every
outing. There were many improvements made at Denison that were
weak points in Marietta just a week ago. The league and summer
travel have so far been instrumental in getting this new core of
players familiar with one another and familiar with the type of play
that occurs at the varsity level, something few of these players
have experienced on a consistent basis. The 'Cats will again
be travelling next weekend to a team camp at the University of
Pittsburgh.
