Hey, sports fans,
No games on tap, but plenty of stuff to keep folks busy – especially the little ones. There are numerous Angelina College athletics camps coming up for youngsters, along with some evaluation camps for prospective future Roadrunners.
Here’s what’s heading our way:
Focus on FUNdamentals
AC Athletics Programs Hosting Youth Summer Camps
Angelina College Athletics programs are hosting a series of youth summer camps in conjunction with the college’s “Camp Roadrunner” recreation camps. The camps focus on building both fundamentals and love of the game; instructors include the AC coaching staff and player/volunteers.
The camps are open to youngsters from kindergarten through 5th grade. Cost for each camp is $110. Attendees can make this a full-day camp by purchasing a Recreation Camp “Add-on” for $75.00.) Sessions run from 9 a.m. until noon each day.

Changes, Upgrades Coming to AC Athletics Web Site, Social Media
Angelina College Athletics’ official website (www.angelinaathletics.com) and all related social media will be getting a massive, much-needed overhaul over the summer. Joining our staff are some true website and graphics wizards, and they’re going to help with the redesign and upkeep of all our forms of internet and social media presence going forward.
We’ll send out word once we have everything ready to launch.
Guy Davis Golf Tournament Date, Location Set
The 17th Annual Guy Davis Golf Tournament has a date now, along with a temporary change in location.
The tournament, hosted by the Roadrunner Foundation, serves as the biggest fund-raiser for all our AC Athletics programs.
This year’s tournament will take place on Saturday, August 17, with the pre-tournament kickoff dinner taking place on Friday, August 16.
Because of the ongoing course renovations at Crown Colony Country Club – the usual site for the tournament – this year’s golf will take place at the Neches Pines Golf Course in Diboll, Texas.
Crown Colony will still serve as the site for the kickoff dinner.
We’ll send out more details as the event draws nearer.
Pro Basketball Player Meets Legend
Sooo…a pro basketball player steps into an elevator and encounters a real legend…
While the Dallas Mavericks were playing their NBA Western Conference Finals series in Minnesota against the Timberwolves, Mavs star Luka Dončić entered an elevator and encountered Lady Roadrunner legend and current Phoenix Mercury (WNBA) player Natasha Mack.
No doubt whatsoever he was just as impressed with her as we at Angelina College are. (Contributed image provided)
