Another Hoops player abroad. It was just 20 days ago that news of "Air Odi" was made known to RGH by Hoops manager Claudius Thompson. Another kid has made it to the States to be a student athlete. This time to Haverford school in Haverford, Pennsylvania. The school is one of the prestigious all boys' schools in the States which provide a superior liberal arts education in a challenging and supportive environment that emphasizes scholarship, leadership, citizenship, and high standards of character and conduct. According to the school's website, they strive to prepare each student for life by developing his full intellectual, moral, social, artistic, athletic and creative potential.

6'8'' Benjamin Bentil featured for Hoops' junior side(Hoopers) in this year's edition of the Junior GABL. He was by all standards the best kid on the team, with some fair abilities in the low post and always making use of his length on defense for rebounds and blocks. Bentil still has more room for improvement and we at RGH are very sure with all the training he will receive, he will soon be a force to reckon with.

Again, www.runhouse.net released news of the kid's arrival after Hoops Cape Coast gave out information about his departure from Kotoka via their facebook account. According to the news release, four more players are meant to make it to various schools in the States before the end of this year.

    Benjamin is doing very well at the Haverford School. His classmates, teachers, coaches and school administrators are very impressed with him. Benjamin is really fitting in well in his new environment and making a great case to bring in more student/athletes from Ghana.
