ANTHONY TITUS SCHOLARSHIP
During our 2014 InSports Hockey Camp, the participants had the opportunity to win an equipment scholarship in honor of Anthony Titus. Anthony Titus was an ambitious young athlete from Minneapolis, MN who participated in hockey and football. At the age of 16, Anthony was caught in the crossfire of a gang-related shooting and tragically passed away. InSports wants his name to live on through a scholarship dedicated to Anthony.
The Anthony Titus Scholarship was awarded to three InHockey Camp participants who worked exceptionally hard, showed a positive attitude, and demonstrated outstanding coachability throughout the camp. These traits exemplify what Anthony stood for, and are a fitting tribute to his name.
The first InHockey Camp was a great success! We would like to thank everyone for coming out, we had a great group of kids that all deserve to be recognized. We would also like to thank all of our sponsors and volunteers, we couldn’t have done it without them.
SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
Originally, there were going to be two scholarship winners, however the competition for the winners was so tough that we had to choose three winners. The winners included Mea Johnson of Fargo, Matthew Anderson of New Prague, and Saysetha Philaphandeth of Minneapolis.
We interviewed each of the winners to get their insight on what the camp and hockey overall means to them.
