Cameron Mills talks about UK's eighth national title

Days after the University of Kentucky basketball team won the program’s eighth national title, response continues to trickle in from around the state.

Former Wildcat player Cameron Mills, who was a member of both the 1996 and 1998 UK national title teams, was in Cadiz Wednesday as part of his youth ministry program.  He said it’s been an exciting week for him as both a former player and a UK alum

Mills was a walk-on at UK in 1995 and played in seven games as a sophomore during the 1996 national title run.  He was a key member off the bench when Kentucky finished as runner-up in 1997 and again in 1998 when the Wildcats won their seventh national title.  Mills uses those experiences as part of his youth ministry, which he has been conducting statewide for nearly 14 years.

Mills talked about how he can relate to fellow Kentuckian Darius Miller when it comes to a native Kentucky son winning a national title and also had a piece of advice for the Kentucky Wildcat team that cut down the nets in New Orleans as part of National Title number eight.

Mills spoke to a Trigg County Fellowship of Christian Athletes youth rally Wednesday night at the Cadiz Baptist Church.

Interview with Cameron Mills

 

Cameron Mills to speak to Trigg County FCA chapter tonight

Two days after winning the school's 8th National Title, a member of Kentucky's 7th national title team will speak to the Trigg County High School chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) tonight.

The event is being hosted by the Cadiz Baptist Church.  Activities begin at 5:30 with a meal in Cadiz Baptist Church Annex. A worship service will follow at 6:30 in the Cadiz Baptist Sanctuary.

Former University of Kentucky Wildcat Cameron Mills will be the speaker. Mills played for Rick Pitino and Tubby Smith while at Kentucky. When Cameron walked-on to the UK basketball team in 1994, he had no idea that he’d walk away with a full scholarship and two NCAA titles. Although it was a dream fulfilled, Cameron will be the first to tell you that the glitter of a championship ring is temporal and quickly fades.

Though basketball has been a big part of Cameron’s life, his calling since he was twelve has been ministry.

All Trigg County High School students are welcome to attend.
