The Quincy University football program will be hosting their first “Elite Football Camp” at QU Stadium this weekend.

The camp is slated to get underway at 9:00 a.m. with registration with drills slated to start on the gridiron 30 minutes later. We’ll check in with Hawks head coach Gary Bass and gain some insight on the type of drills the Hawks football staff will be conducting.

On “The Gem City” hardwood, more than 100 campers have been working on improving their game during the 8th Annual QND Basketball Camp. “The Pit” serves as home base for the 4-day camp that got underway on Monday.
