The Bearkat football team and coaches took a break from preseason camp to host more than 300 area youngsters ages five to 12 at the third annual "Little Kat" Camp Saturday morning.
Sam Houston State players worked with the youngsters at various stations teaching the fundamentals of passing, running, catching, blocking and tackling.
"We had another great turnout. What a great group of youngsters," Sam Houston head coach Willie Fritz said. "I don't know who had more fun - the kids or our players."
The Bearkat players echoed the senitments of their head coach.
"We had a great time with the kids," defensive back Bookie Sneed said. "They were really fired up to be down on the field and learning more about football. Their enthusiasm was contagious. We all had a great time."

Sam Houston begins the 2013 season Saturday Aug. 31 when the Bearkats play host to Houston Baptist in the Huskies' inaugural game as an NCAA football program.
