School may be out for the summer, but that doesn’t mean Vance County High School Athletic Director Ray Noel is taking it easy. Camps are taking place in the coming weeks for soccer, basketball and volleyball. This week the Viper’s football team is participating in a 7 on 7 camp at NC State.
“It’s an opportunity to work on passing and defense,” Noel said. One of the teams Vance County has faced is Sanderson. The Vipers prevailed in that contest but they also have to face Northern Durham and Chambers from the Charlotte area. It’s a great opportunity for the kids to get some touches on the football according to Noel. Turnout for these offseason camps and workouts has been strong. “We’ve had good numbers at workouts with 50 to 60 kids,” Noel said.
While losing their starting quarterback to graduation, Noel said to expect big things from Taeshawn Alston and Javon Vines-Holder this season. Upcoming 7 on 7 camps will be held at Winston-Salem State and St. Augustine’s.
