Scots Visit Eagle Mountain Magnet School

The Lyon College Scots basketball team was one of 40 work groups that participated in Lyon College's Service Day 2004. Nine upperclassmen visited Eagle Mountain Magnet School and provided leadership to the school's physical education program. Freshmen members of the team served on work teams with their Freshman Mentor Groups at a variety of work sites in Batesville and throughout Independence County.

While at Eagle Mountain, the Scots conducted a basketball clinic for 2nd and 3rd grade students.  Ian Cathcart and Dalun Smith instructed the students during the ball-handling drills.  Cortney Brown and Ty Sims took the kids through dribbling drills.  Brandon Lee and Andrew Shepherd refined the passing skills of the students.  Norris Weintz, Jason Donaldson, and Chris Wilkinson taught the youngsters the proper way to shoot the basketball.

Between the clinic sessions, the Scot basketball players ate lunch with the elementary students in the school cafeteria and then convened to the playground where a fun time was shared by all.
