Camp Director
Cabral Huff
As the head coach of the St. Francis Varsity basketball team, I performed any and all duties that come with the title of a head coach. I conducted pre-season conditioning drills and individual workouts, as well as conducting practices and taking full bench coaching responsibilities during the season. In addition, as an assistant athletic director, I assisted in all aspects of the athletic program. My responsibilities included serving as a game day administrator, handling scheduling, conducting end of season meetings, observing other coaches in our program, helping develop our football program, handling eligibility as well as other numerous responsibilities. In my time as the Varsity Boy’s Head basketball coach, I have compiled a winning record as the team has been to the past three state tournaments and reached the "Sweet 16" in two of those years (2009-2010 and 2011-2012), as well as finishing as region runner-ups in 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. In my time at St. Francis, I have had eight players named to the All Region team, two players named to the All-State team, and a player receive the distinguished Naismith Flourish Scholarship award. In addition, every player that has played for me has graduated from high school with numerous players receiving athletic scholarships.
