This month d-mars.com is teaming up with the Nelson Brand Sports organization to sponsor the Thanksgiving High School Basketball Rivalry Week, which kicks off with the Texas High School Jamboree, now hosted at two sites: Episcopal High School and St. Thomas High School. Join us on November 25 - 26 for this annual event.
The Texas High School Jamboree was created as a platform for student-athletes who wouldn’t necessarily get the opportunity to be seen by some of the top college coaches and receive the opportunity to compete at a high level for college scholarships in front of these coaches.
Rick Nelson is president of Nelson Brand Sports, and his 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 Bachelors and Masters from Prairie View A&M University. “Athletics
was instrumental in me not only being the man I am today, but achieving success as an entrepreneur. I learned discipline and the great importance of effective leadership and teamwork to build something great. This annual event is so important not only to the deserving players, but also the community. We expect a great turnout and are always appreciative to the parents, students, sponsors, partners, and community for their support,”
Nelson said. “In sports the principle of working as a team is essential to achieving championship success,” said president and CEO of d-mars.com, Keith J. Davis,
Sr. aka “MR. D-MARS.” “With this partnership between d-mars. com, Exquisite Group, Hunt & Hunt, Boost Mobile, and Adidas, 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."
