Elite’s staff remain focused on sustaining the pillars the games were built upon: character, discipline and classroom excellence," camp organizer Glenn Deveaux told Youth1.com.
"We would be remiss if we didn’t recognize some of our notable alumni that have moved on and continue to excel in the classroom and on the gridiron at their respective colleges.
