Chasing their hoop dreams

CHESTERTOWN — Cheered on by members of Washington College’s men’s basketball team, boys and girls enrolled in the Horizons of Kent and Queen Anne’s program participate in a dribbling relay on the college hardwood Sunday afternoon, Jan. 5. That’s 6-year-old Kanen Frazier of Centreville in the foreground.

Head coach Corey Begly, assistant coach Chris King and about a dozen Shoremen led an hour-long free skills clinic for Horizons students ages 6 to 12.

Horizons of Kent and Queen Anne’s offers a six-week summer academic and enrichment program that is tuition-free for elementary and middle school students living in under-resourced communities.

There are two sites — Kent School, Chestertown and The Gunston School, Centreville.

Sunday’s basketball clinic was the second “out-of-season” activity for the Horizons students. In the fall they booked the Flagship Premium Cinema in Chestertown for a screening of “The Wild Robot,” which they read in their One School, One Book program.
