NBA hopefuls training in Marble Falls with Mustang athletes

MARBLE FALLS — Marble Falls Independent School District athletes aren’t the only ones taking advantage of high school facilities this summer.

Two professional basketball players, Ryan Wright and Henry Dugat, have been attending three practices a day, two with new Marble Falls High School head boys basketball coach Neil Laminack, who is conducting the workouts, and a third under the direction of the staff of Performance Course, the company leading the strength-and-conditioning program for the Mustangs.
