The d-mars.com is teaming up with the Nelson Brand Sports organization to sponsor the Thanksgiving Texas High School Basketball Jamboree tour, which kicks off with the Texas High School Jamboree for freshman boys on November 25. The Texas High School Jamboree for Ladies is on November 27 at Jack Yates High School, and the Boys Texas High School Jamboree will be hosted at Episcopal High School from November 29-30. The 3rd Ward Jamboreee at Jack Yates High School will be held from Dec. 13-14, 2024.
The Thanksgiving Texas High School Jamboree was created as a platform for student-athletes who wouldn’t necessarily get the opportunity to be seen by college coaches. These athletes get that chance to compete at a high level for college scholarships in front of the many college coaches who will be in attendance for a full six days of watching 108 top-notch high school basketball boys and girls playing at two high school locations.
As president of Nelson Brand Sports, Rick Nelson’s mission is to provide a positive environment for academics and the game of basketball for young men and women. He recognized early on the value of using basketball as a tool to further one’s education after having played point guard on scholarship for Texas College, winning two national college championships and going on to receive his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Prairie View A&M University and becoming a certified life coach.
“In sports, the principle of working as a team is essential to achieving championship success in life,” adds president and CEO of d-mars.com, Keith “MR. D-MARS” Davis, Sr. “With this partnership between d-mars.com, Nelson Brand LLC, Marc Simpson-Urban Social Management, Rod Thompson-Sportscapers and Balden, we are setting out to show the community that there are ways to achieve your goals in life, whether it is through entrepreneurship or athletics. Strong team players make some of the best leaders.”
