Camden had an impressive performance at the Elks Hoop Shoot National Finals, but he has only gotten better since then. He led his high school basketball team to three consecutive state championships, earned first-team all-state honors, and scored more than 1,500 points. Though he has come a long way, Camden will never forget his time in the Elks Hoop Shoot program.
Advice for National Finalists: Never give up. Just keep going.
