ESPN Show Features Foyle's Camp
HCS and Colgate grad Adonal Foyle is featured in an ESPN program focused on his kid's sports and academics camp.
The ever-charming Adonal Foyle, who graduated from HCS and Colgate, is the subject of an extensive feature on ESPN W.
The feature begins:
"On a humid summer day on the Caribbean island of Dominica, 1,400 miles south of Miami, two men with rusted machetes quietly crossed an outdoor basketball court populated with young children. The children paid the knife-wielding trespassers no mind. The men were on their way to work in the rain forests, their long blades used for making trails and felling fruit from trees. The kids were more captivated by the white bus pulling up to the basketball court. Sixteen coaches and volunteers emerged, one standing 6-foot-10, with a towering physique of muscle and power. A young boy approached the enormous man, who wore the long shorts and cutoff sleeves synonymous with basketball garb."'Are you Shaq?' the boy asked.
Adonal Foyle leaned down to the child, feigning great offense.
"'I am much prettier than Shaq,' he said. The child laughed and ran away from the gentle giant.
In addition to the print feature is a video interview with the former Emerald Knight/Raider who played 13 years in the NBA. and was inducted into the HCS Hall of Honor.
Both stories focus on Foyle's philanthropy and his focus not just on sports, but on academic and good health.
Foyle was interviewed by fellow Colgate grad Kathryn Bertine.
