UD's Sibert Returns to Roots to Host Basketball Camp

SHARONVILLE -- UD grad Jordan Sibert is a NBA hopeful and while he prepares for the upcoming draft he still finds the time to work with kids in the area at basketball camps. Sunday he hosted one at the Sharonville recreation center. There were two sessions, a morning session for kids 9 to 12 years old, then in the afternoon kids 13 to 17 got to work with the Flyers' standout. There were plenty of smiles filing the gym which made today very special for the Princeton High School Grad. "It means the world because me growing up, I would have loved to have one of these," Sibert said. "To come to one of these and to be a part of one of these. At that age we didn't really have anybody around here who had something like this. Show them I made it from here and you can too. It's a blessing and it's an honor to be in this position. It comes from hard work and being on a mission." This is actually the gym where Sibert played his first basketball. His team won 42-13. Sibert scored all 42 points and the fans weren't even mad. "They loved it actually. Actually a lady asked me for my autograph too. This was when I was in sixth grade so that was a great time for me."
