A basketball rolls around at the Anderson house, and the boys continue to bounce it.
Neil and Deedee moved to Camas in 1986. He is a former college basketball player who referees high school games. She coached the Blazer Dancers. Together, they raised three boys on the hardwood.
Ryan, 27, was the first to play ball at Camas High School. He graduated in 2006, and now is a father.
“This is where I learned the values of hard work and teamwork,” Ryan said. “All of the lessons and traits I will need for the rest of my life, it all started here.”
Daniel, 25, played with Ryan briefly, before carrying on the Anderson name for the next two seasons. He is back with the program as the junior varsity coach.
