‘It’s organized chaos. It’s awesome’: Blue Eagle Basketball School takes flight

PLYMOUTH – The constant pounding of the basketball, the squeak of sneakers on the gym floor, and a maybe a quick yelp of delight when the ball goes through the hoop. Every bit of it is sweet music to Tim Ward’s ears.

“I love it,” the Plymouth North boys basketball head coach said Thursday morning on the final day of the third annual Blue Eagle Basketball School. “We started this youth camp with 32 kids. Last year we grew to 72 players and this year we’ve expanded to 125 campers with 21 different players from the high school team helping me out. The kids have been out of school for a week and here they are in the gym learning about basketball. We’ve got a lot of kids coming back for a third year and they had so much fun that they bring some friends with them each year.
