Putnam Science wraps up successful three-day camp
PUTNAM — Putnam Science Academy’s Drills and Skills just finished its second and final basketball clinic of the summer.  The shorter three-day camp was just as successful as the week-long camp held back in July with 65 campers attending
 “I was so happy to see so many kids attend our camps this summer,” said PSA Head Coach Tom Espinosa. “I strongly feel we have one of the best camp coaching staffs around and we have fun, but we really push the kids to get better as well.”
The campers were split into two divisions and played games, worked on skills and competed in competitions.
On the last day both the NBA division and the Big East division held an All-Star game for the players who stood out during the camp. Also, local basketball legend Donald Cushing took the time as the guest speaker and spoke to the kids about many important things including how to improve your game and playing at the next levels.
The individual winners from the NBA include TJ Espinosa (MVP, Free Throw Shooting, Elbow Shooting, Hot Shot and 1-on-1); Kaileigh Eslin (Coaches Award) and Trevor Turner (Hustle Award). Individual winners from the Big East include: Lacie Guardiola (MVP and Hot Shot); Isaac LaFrance (Free Throw Shooting); Henry Orrell (Elbow Shooting); Thomas Neal (1-on-1 and Hustle Award); and Austin Hanson (Coaches Award).
