SportsForce Alumni Cameron Gypsyn is making a name for himself across the pond as he has become as stand out for Team Northumbria. Cameron is at Uni in the UK and has been training with the Newcastle Eagles 1st team (professional) and playing with the 2nd team. Also, he is at Great Britain national under 20’s team camp with main team assistant coach Tim Lewis. The Daily Chronicle reports on his standout season, below.
TEAM Northumbria star Cameron Gypsyn jets back into Tyneside this week – still on course to become a dual international for his adopted country.
The California-born forward holds a UK passport and has already represented Team GB in volleyball.
But Gypsyn tried out for Tim Lewis’s Team GB under-20 basketball squad last month.
And it is understood the TN rookie impressed at a talent identification camp showcasing the best of the country’s emerging hoops stars.
“Cameron has settled in well to the EBL second division and his numbers have made a few people sit up and take notice,” said skipper Chris Pearce.
“He was invited down to the talent camp after Team GB got in touch with our coach Greg Modzelewski.
“And now we’re just waiting to hear how he got on.”
Gypsyn is due to fly into Newcastle tomorrow after spending the festive period back home in the USA.
And TN’s versatile 6ft 7in close-season capture will be thrown straight back into the EBL action as Modzelewski’s men prepare for a gruelling double-header on the road.
“We’re away at Kent and Brixton this weekend, so it’ll be quite a shock after the Christmas break,” added Pearce.
“The bad weather hasn’t affected our practice schedule too much, though, and we’re in pretty confident mood.
“We’re traditionally strong heading into the second half of the season, but we have plenty of work to do if we’re going to climb the table.”
