Players on the Patrick Henry High School basketball squad helped out at the “Reach” clinic, held at PH recently. Calvary Chapel invited the group to Roanoke. The inspirational Reach team included Rick Harville, who played professional basketball in Europe after college. He has also been the Los Angeles Lakers volunteer chaplain for the past 27 years.
Also on hand was Sherwin Durham, an NAIA All-American in college and at one time a member of Meadowlark Lemon’s Shooting Stars, where teammates included the likes of Curly Neal and the late Pete Maravich. Durham also played with the Harlem Globetrotters for seven years. Camp participants came from all over the valley; some who couldn’t afford it attended on a scholarship. Basketball techniques and “life skills,” were on the three-day agenda.
