It may be considered the off-season but the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Pronghorns men's basketball team is continuing to work hard for next season.

The Horns will hold their annual ID Camp this weekend, May 7-8 at the 1^st Choice Savings Centre. This camp is an open tryout for any player interested in playing Canada West basketball, and as Horns head coach Dave Adams says, it's not just a public relations stunt.

"Last year we had two people from the tryout camp make the team," says Adams. "Both Wes Chapman and Jeremy Stanley ended up playing for the Horns, so this camp can be very valuable."

Those interested in attending the weekend camp can contact the Customer Service Centre at 403-329-2706 to register. Registration costs are $30 per player and this includes a Horns Nation t-shirt.

In other Horns basketball news, the club will be holding its annual Steve Rodehutskors Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 11 at Paradise Canyon Golf Resort. Further details about registration will follow.

The Horns have been playing spring exhibition tournaments in recent weeks, recently finishing fourth out of 12 teams at the Jason Young Pine Memorial Basketball Tournament. The Horns were 3-2 on the weekend and saw Danhue Lawrence and Julian Spear Chief-Morris named to the first and second tournament all-star teams respectively.

The Horns will next play in the Kodiak Growl tournament, May 14-15 at Lethbridge College.

A pair of versatile players will also join the Horns next season, as combo wing/posts Taylor Norum and Wes Chapman will don the blue and gold next season.

Norum, a 6'7" High River product, was a member of two medal winning Alberta Provincial teams and a member of Basketball Canada Centre for Performance. Taylor comes to the Horns after spending last year in Sweden.

Chapman, after impressing Coach Adams at the Horns spring ID camp joins the Horns after taking last season off from basketball. The Calgary native is a graduate of Lord Beaverbrook High School.

"We are excited to have Wes in our program next season," said Coach Adams. "He brings much needed size to the front end." Rounding out the Horns 2009/10 recruiting class is wing Jeremy Stanley. The 6'6" William Aberheart graduate will add much need size and depth to the Horns.

"Stanley will add athletic depth and bring an exceptional work ethic to our squad next season," said Adams.
