Local sports program Joe Bright Basketball Training in Big Spring, founded by former Howard College Hawk Joe Bright, recently announced plans to expand into JB Sports Academy. In addition to teaching sports skills, the academy will also strive to teach life lessons.
“It’s a special environment,” said Coach Bright. “It’s not just training. It’s actually a program where they’re actually learning life lessons and experiencing different things.”
After purchasing a 2-acre lot at 1317 E. 6th Street, Bright’s goal now is to secure $90,000 in funds to build the JB Sports Academy facility and get it off the ground. He also has a GoFundMe page (https://www.gofundme.com/f/jb-sports-academy) set up for anyone interested in making a donation.
