Ed Huckaby learned basketball as a youngster at skills camps at YMCAs and Boys Clubs. “I started out playing that way, watching Walt Frazier and those guys play when I was a kid, pretending that I was them,” said Huckaby, the head coach of the nationally ranked Fishburne Military School postgrad basketball program. Huckaby served as the master of ceremonies for a skills camp put on by his players and assistant coaches for more than 100 youngsters in the youth basketball program at the Waynesboro YMCA on Monday night.

Fishburne Military School postgrad basketball coach Ed Huckaby had arranged for his players to lead a basketball clinic at the Waynesboro YMCA earlier in the week. The clinic went off well, with the Caissons working with more than 50 Y youth-basketball players in a two-hour session. That was it as far as obligations go. Even Huckaby was pleasantly surprised to hear from a group of players on Thursday that they were planning to head back to the Y to help out with scheduled youth-hoops games at the Y.
