ENERGYUNITED AWARDS SPORTS CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS TO LOCAL STUDENTS

STATESVILLE, N.C. – Three local students have earned all-expense-paid Touchstone Energy Sports Camp scholarships from EnergyUnited to attend summer basketball camps at two of the state’s largest college campuses.

Aubrey Graham, a sixth grade student at Oakwood IB Middle School in Iredell County, is one of two young ladies who will represent EnergyUnited this June at the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp at North Carolina State University. Aubrey is an A/B Honor Roll student, a dancer for her youth praise team at her church and is also a member of Abbey’s Smart Girls (Boys and Girls Club).

Layla Hazlip, fifth grade student at Morgan Academy in Davie County, will also be representing EnergyUnited at the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball camp this June. In addition to playing basketball, Layla enjoys playing softball, tennis and is also a pianist. She is an A Honor Roll student and also serves as a volunteer for her church and for a local family each week.

Seth Snider, a sixth grade student at Silver Valley Elementary School, will attend the Carolina Basketball Camp at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Seth enjoys playing basketball and also plays football, baseball and flag football. He is an A/B Honor Roll and AIG student who recently served as Student Council Vice President.

“EnergyUnited is proud to sponsor Aubrey, Layla and Seth this year as our 2022 Touchstone Energy Sports Camp scholarship winners,” said Maureen Moore, communications manager for EnergyUnited. “Aubrey, Layla and Seth are not only passionate about basketball, but each also possesses a servant’s heart, which is very important to EnergyUnited.”

The scholarships cover all expenses to attend the overnight camps, which provide a glimpse into life on a college campus. Campers stay overnight in college dorms, learn fundamental skills that will help them excel on and off the court, and receive individual and group instruction from Division 1 coaches to enhance their basketball skills and spirit of teamwork.

Leading the Wolfpack Women’s camp is head coach Wes Moore, his coaching staff, and current and former North Carolina State women’s basketball players. The Carolina Basketball Camp will be led by second-year coach Hubert Davis, his staff, and current and past Tar Heel basketball players.
