CU hosts 25 at Hunter Cantwell QB/WR Skills Camp Click on headline for complete story w/photo(s) By Matthew Schmuck / Campbellsville University Sports Information CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Campbellsville University Fighting Tiger football hosted the 2013 Hunter Cantwell QB/WR Skills Camp on Saturday, June 8, for high school and middle school football players. Twenty-five student athletes (16 quarterbacks and nine receivers) traveled from around the region, including as far away as Tallahassee, FL, to participate in numerous drills and skill competitions at Finley Stadium. The group also spent time in the classroom, watching film to better understand their respective positions. "We tried to cover all of the bases," said Cantwell. "We feel that playing the quarterback position should be mechanical; understanding how to generate energy, velocity, and accuracy. We harp on the mind a lot and want our guys to understand the defenses, and be able to make quick decisions on what they're seeing." Cantwell, current quarterbacks coach for CU and former University of Louisville quarterback, brought along a fellow former-Louisville Cardinal, Stefan LeFors, to assist in leading the camp. "Hunter came in when I was a senior [at Louisville], so I got to spend one full season with him," said LeFors of his relationship with Cantwell. "As quarterbacks, we got to spend a lot of time together in the meeting rooms and on the practice field, especially when he was a freshman and I was a senior. I felt I had to take the young guys in and show them the ropes. When he told me about the camp, I had to come help him out because he helped me out with one I put on last year. So I just came on down to have some fun with him and to help some young players get better." CU wide receivers coach Sean Anderson headed the wide-receiver portion of the skills camp. CU senior QB, Bryan Parnes of Dania Beach, FL, was also a camp leader. At the conclusion of the Skills Camp, Cantwell and the other leaders set up a timed obstacle course for the campers to compete in. Campers had to make their way through a course of ladders, cones, and stepping bars, all while making targeted passes along the way. One-second penalties were added to their time for mistakes along the way, while accuracy of hitting targets provided either a one- or five-second bonus to quarterbacks' times. Zach Durham, a senior from Campbellsville High School, won the first round of the QB Skills Camp Competition with an overall time of 22 seconds. Durham was successful in two of his three targeted passes. Steven Benock, an eighth-grader from Stuart Pepper Middle School in Meade County, KY, rallied to win the second round of the QB Skills Competition with an overall time of 19 seconds. Benock, the last competitor of the day, was also successful in two of his three targeted passes. He showed good clock management strategy to end the obstacle, choosing to throw short on the third challenge to get the ball in the trash quicker without having to chase it. Benock is the cousin of former-CU basketball standout, Jordan Benock. Jonathon Scaringe, a senior from Chiles High School in Tallahassee, FL. won the Receivers Skills Competition with an overall time of twenty-one seconds. Scaringe chose the camp from a search of summer camps all over the southeast. He hopes to take what he learned and take it back to Florida to help his team win its first ever District Championship. "This just shows you that Campbellsville University is on the map," said Anderson, CU's receivers coach. "No matter if you're in Campbellsville or obviously, Tallahassee, FL We have a big recruiting base and this just shows that the word of Campbellsville, it's coaches and staff is very, very good. This just speaks volumes of how we do things here at Campbellsville." - Matthew Schmuck This story was posted on 2013-06-09 04:52:34
