The Newcastle ISD gym was full of activity this summer with different sports camps sharpening student athlete’s skills.

Basketball camp this summer was hosted by Mattie Dollar, a local Ladycat basketball legend, soon to be off to her next big adventure in college, and her brother, Lane Dollar. Coach Dollar is studying to become a coach at Abilene Christian University.

Coach Dollar is in his senior year and wanted to give back by hosting a basketball skills camp for Newcastle student athletes.
