Asheboro, NC - One local student practiced alongside athletes and coaches from the top-ranked Carolina college basketball program this summer, thanks to Randolph EMC’s Touchstone Energy Sports Camp scholarship..

Tyler Williams and Coach Hubert Davis

Tyler Williams from Randleman Middle School participated in the Carolina Basketball School, led by head coach Hubert Davis, at the University of N.C. in Chapel Hill from June 18 to 22.

“Tyler is an outstanding student, athlete and community member,” said Nicole Arnold, communications and public affairs manager at REMC. “We are proud to partner with the University of North Carolina to help provide such a unique leadership and learning experience for our local students and future leaders.”

Tyler joined more than 50 electric co-op scholarship winners statewide at the camp, where he stayed overnight in dorms and experienced life as a college student. At the camp, coaches and student-athletes worked directly with campers to develop basketball fundamentals and practice skills such as teamwork that will help them excel on and off the court.

Touchstone Energy Sports Camp scholarships are available each year as part of Randolph Electric’s commitment to supporting youth and education in our community. Congratulations to Tyler Williams for earning this scholarship and representing Randolph EMC at basketball camp this summer!
