Brookhaven Basketball Team
Though the kindergarteners at Hedrick Elementary were much smaller in stature than their special visitors this month, they certainly weren’t short on curiosity about college or basketball.
On May 18, six members of the Brookhaven College Bears Basketball Team, along with their coach Kevin Hurst, academic advisor, visited Hedrick Elementary School in Lewisville.
Players Brandon O'Bryant, Joe Wilson, Craigory Christopher, Nosa Amadasun, Chris Smith and Jon Smith took time away from studying for finals to read to the students and discuss the importance of learning to read and getting an education.
The kids got a special treat when the players took them outside and gave them a few basketball pointers.
Members from the team have visited local elementary schools every spring for the past six years, Hurst said.
