It is true

that it is never too early to start planning for next

season. The Starr's Mill boys basketball team is

attending three basketball camps this summer in order to

build off of last year's successes. The camps they have

attended have been in Lovejoy, at Clayton College and

State University and the University of Georgia.

The team

should also get a boost from the new junior varsity coach

at Starr's Mill, Lonnie Farmer. farmer recently moved to

the area from Wilson, North Carolina. He will teach

physical education at Brooks Elementary on top of his

duties with the junior varsity Panthers. Farmer attended

East Carolina University, played on their basketball team

as a freshman, and graduated with a degree in Exercise

Sports Science.

Farmer has

a lot of family in the area and is looking forward to

being closer to them. He is engaged to marry Tequila

Henderson and is planning on an August wedding. Farmer

has already worked extensively with the junior varsity

and varsity teams and will be a welcome addition to the

Panther basketball program.
