Camp attracts players from overseas

Eating, sleeping and playing basketball is the lifestyle at the Marian Washington Lady Jayhawk Basketball Camp for young women. Over 500 youths from 16 states and two foreign countries will commit themselves to basketball for a week at the camp.
The campers come from such places as Michigan, Ohio, London and Ireland.
"This is what we've dreamed about," Kevin Cook, camp director and assistant women's basketball coach, said yesterday. "Three years ago, we knew this cquid be a great camp."
The reputation of the camp reached London through former Kansas player Philicia Allen, a professional soccer coach and brochures to the coaches of Amanda
Fernandochy and Vie Oiite, who are both from London. Mike Wright, head coach of the Irish national women's team, Naomh Mhuise, heard about the camp through Barbara Graves, former Indiana State standout and now player for the professional women's team in London.
The two camper's tuition and flying costs were paid by New Education Recreational Association.
"I am, pleased that he (Wright) spent that kind of money to come over," Marian Washington, head women's basketball coach, said. "Not only do we have a coach from overseas but two young players."
Washington said the coaches exchange playing tips, yet the teaching is the same.
“It’s a dream come true to play in the USA,” Fernouly said Monday. “Hopefully, I’ll become a pro and play for America.”
Fernoughy said she already had learned how to play more aggressively on defense and offense. There are nine or ten campers to each coach. The coaches teach the campers' different playing skills.
"Americans are better," she said. "They show more enthusiasm, in the way they communicate and help others to be more. There is a higher standard."
She said she hoped to learn a lot before going to another camp in Salina.
Oteite was 16 years old when she first picked up a basketball. Now two years later, she plays national league basketball for Brixton.
"I think the playing is more intense over here than in London," Otite said. "The national league is okay, but it is fast over here."
Otite learned of the camp through her national league coach. Jimmy
Rogers, and said that she couldn't pass up the opportunity to come to the camp.
While "these young players are spending eight hours daily on the basketball court learning the basic techniques and team only practiced four hours daily.
"You really have to come to America. I am envious of the coaches because it seems that they have a lot of time."
"I have picked up a lot through the network," he said. "I've learned from talking, and actually seeing someone do the drills.
Wright has participated in several basketball camps overseas. However, he finds this camp superior to the others.
"Marian Washington knows what she wants her coaches to teach the kids," he said.
Harlem Globetrotter Lynette Woodard explained the purpose of a drill to basketball campers yesterday at Allen Field House. Woodard is coaching at the Marian Washington's Lady Jayhawk Basketball camp.

Lynette Woodard. Nearly a year ago she made basketball history when she made the Harlem Globetrotter basketball team. The opportunity to play on the team has been valuable to the nation and travel to Australia.
Now she is back in Lawrence to assist at the Marian Washington's Lady Jayhawk Basketball camp. She will be in place like home, she said yesterday.
"This is the only camp I work besides a few on the East and West coasts that last one day or a couple of days." I said, where I learned and was taught."
Being the only woman on a men's basketball team can pose problems. For example, locker room accommodations. Woodard is assigned her own locker room, but pregame meetings are held in the men's locker room because it is usually larger, she said.
Making the Globetrotters is a climax to an already illustrious career. Woodard's honors include: Kodak All-American team for four years; academic All-American for two years; member of the 1980 Olympic team; Big Eight Woman Athlete of the Year, 1981; winner of the Wade Trophy as the best player in women's collegiate basketball, 1981; member of the Pan-American team; and member and team captain of the 1984 Olympic gold-medal basketball team.
"I'm here because this is the Lord's will. He made no mistaking that, Woodard said: "When this man was here I was funny. I'm going to have a good time fun."
wherever I go. It's all attitude. Stay positive."
Woodard seems to have become accustomed to the fame. Yet she is wary that what looks like fun really is a job.
"This is a job that I enjoy," Woodard said. "I love basketball and this is an opportunity for me to play in the tournament or any sport. I have to make a living."
In the games she has played in, Woodard said, her teammates have been professional since the beginning.
"They knew of the changes that would come," she said. "And they were ready."
On the court the audience can watch a team serious about its profession, yet having fun. However, off the court it is a different story, Woodard said.
"They don't normally joke off the court," she said. "They are warm outgoing people, I see that everyday. They care about other people."
"She's cool," said Jennifer Jaeger, of Garden City, daughter of Noreene and Ray, who attending the camp is taking and making everybody feel good.
Both young and old have enjoyed watching the Globetrotters and their antics, everything from shooting a shotgun to one another with a bucket of water.
at the basketball camp. Woodard offers suggestions to the campers and is aware of the importance of understanding the basic skills.
"If you mess up, she doesn't make you feel bad. She shrugs off," said Michelle Settter, of Humboldt, who is an expert on the wilder, who is also attending the camp.
Losing streak hits 11 as Orioles beat Rovals
United Press International
KANSAST CITY, Mo. — Shortstop Greg Pryer's throwing error on a potential inning-ending double play allowed Fred Lynn and Cal Ripken to score the go-ahead runs in the 13th last night at Royals Stadium, and the Baltimore Orioles defeated Kansas City 8-4 to extend the Royals' club-record losing streak to 11 games.
With the score tied 4-4 and one out in the 13th, Lymn doubled into the left corner. Ripken then singled to left, with Lynn holding at third. Ripken was able to go to second when the Royals threw to the plate on the play. Dan Quisenberry then intentionally walked Jim Dwyer to load the bases. He then inducedJunion to the pitch. Jim played ball, but Pryer's throw to second was wide and rolled into right field, allowing Lynn and Ripken to score.
Quisenberry was replaced by Bud
Black, who hit John Shelby with a pitch on an apparent squeeze play to reload the bases. Black then retired Rick Dempsey and Juan Bonilla added a two-run single to make the score 8-4.
Kansas City tied the score 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth after Dwyer's solo homer had put Baltimore ahead in the top of the timing. Pinch-hitter Mike Kingery, who made his major league debut Monday, opened the right center field gap and scored on Steve Balloni's sacrifice飞
Scott Bankhead pitch nine innings for the Royals. The rookie right-hander struck out five, walked two and allowed six hits.
Kansas City scored a run in the sixth on Smith's run-scoring double-play grounder.
Frank White singled off Baltimore reliever Don Aase with two outs in the eighth to drive in two runs and the score 3-3.
