Ricky “Hollywood” Hunt’s first Football camp had great turn out with kids from the county and surrounding areas participating. Hunt estimated that 50 to 60 kids that were involved in the many drills. Hunt not only had the help of his scheduled coaches but also old teammates and coaches like Clinton Davis III and Cortez Hibbler.
Coaches listed were Kendrick Market, Bruce Wilbourn Jr., Dennard Presley, Jarrell Lantern, Mancini Arnold, Tyler Sullivan, Demetrius Market, Kendrick Market, Terrance Pope, Ked Patton, Cory Champan and Troiski Pettis.
Hunt began camp with a 15-minute stretch period followed by age- group drills. Next, the campers went into position drills and then the receivers and defensive backs  had 1-on-1 drills. The final drill for the campers was to play 7-on-7 against the coaches.
When the camp was finished Hunt presented all of the campers with certificates of participation.
“I just would like thank to thank everyone that brought their kids out and all the support for the people in the community,” Hunt said “I am looking forward to all of the campers for next year.”
Before camp was over Hunt and the other coaches each gave words of encouragement  and Hunt added that he wants all of the campers to participate in the Micheal Oher and Jamarca Sanford’s camp this coming Saturday.
