Amis and Ostrowski holding hoops camp
Two former Hawaii basketball players are teaming up again to hold an instructional camp for boys and girls from July 17 to 19 at McKinley High School’s gym.
The Bill Amis and Miah Ostrowski Basketball Skills Camp is for boys and girls ages 6 to 15 and promises a "fun and competitive environment" for its $100 cost. It runs from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each of the three days.
Amis was an All-Western Athletic Conference second-team selection at power forward as a senior in 2010-11. The point guard Ostrowski posted 7.0 assists per game his final year in 2011-12, the third-highest single-season average in program history.
