WT Sports Briefs: Changes made to summer basketball camp schedule
West Texas A&M head women's basketball coach Josh Prock has announced a schedule change to Thursday and Friday's summer basketball camps at the First United Bank Center.
The Position & Shooting Camp was originally scheduled for split sessions on Thursday and Friday. However, those two camps have now been combined into three-hour sessions from 9:00 a.m. until noon. The camp is open to grade levels 6-12 and is a good opportunity for young local players to develop their skills.
