SALT LAKE CITY, Apr 30, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA), a worldwide leader in science-based nutritional supplements, today announced it will be the supplement supplier of the Continental Basketball Association champion Lawton-Fort Sill Cavalry.
The Oklahoma-based Cavalry recently completed their championship season, finishing 34-18 and becoming the first expansion team since 2001-02 to win a CBA title.
Former NBA player Greg Minor and his wife, Stephanie, who started a USANA business eight months ago, introduced USANA products to the team in February, not long after Greg was named the Cavalry's assistant coach.
"I introduced the products to the players at a shoot-around one day and they fell in love with them," said Minor, who provided his players with USANA's HealthPak 100(TM) nutritional supplements, as well as Oatmeal Raisin Nutrition Bars and Iced Lemon Fibergy Bars(TM). "My vision as a coach is to have a lifelong partnership with USANA. I know from experience that professional basketball players need these supplements not only during their playing careers but also in retirement."
Minor, a former first-round NBA Draft pick out of the University of Louisville, spent five seasons with the Boston Celtics before a hip injury ended his playing career.
"I wish I had the opportunity to take USANA supplements when I played for the Celtics," Minor said. "I retired from the NBA in 2001 and began looking for different supplements to take. By far, USANA offers the best nutritional supplements I've come across."
