Statesboro High School girls basketball coach Marty Holder held a summer camp this week inside the high school's gymnasium.

The two-day camp was the first hosted at Statesboro High since former coach Lee Hill passed away in 2020, and it's the first offered just for girls, grades 1-6. 

"I wanted to pick up the torch for Coach Hill," said Holder, "and create something for the girls to help them learn the game and create relationships with one another."
