We played one game that morning and won to go undefeated for the camp. The CP3 Rising Stars National Camp was a fantastic experience for me! Once all the games were done we watched the dunk contest and the all American All-Star game. Once it was all done we went to the airport for our flight we got on our flight at 8 and landed back in Maryland at 9:30pm. Once we landed we got our bags we picked up dinner and drove home.

I want to thank Mr. Mike Melton and the entire BBall Spotlight family for allowing me to share my Diary of a Baller over these last 8 weeks. It has been a lot of fun!!! It has allowed me to look at myself and see the progress that has been made this summer and the work still to be done as I start high school. I hope it was enjoyable for all of you as well! For those that pray please keep me lifted in your prayers and I will keep you lifted in mine! Be blessed!!!! Lou Hutch Out!!!!
