West Texas Preparatory Academy

to the borderland basketball community, the summit 2026 will officially be postponed for next summer (2027). more than anything, it saddens me to have to postpone such a beautiful event because i truly believed the summit could become something special for this community and for the athletes here that deserve real exposure, opportunity, and organization. but with us acquiring our own building, the buildout, construction, equipment installs, operational timeline, and overall expansion of house 4 athlete and west texas prep have honestly suffocated our ability to execute the summit this summer at the level it deserves. rather than force an unfinished product, we’re going to take the extra time and do it correctly. the summit will return next summer for the classes of 2027 & 2028 in the same fashion, but with a much higher level of detail, experience, structure, and quality across the board. more than anything, thank you to everybody that supported the vision from day one. we’ll be back.

i want to thank God for the resilience, wisdom, strength, peace, and understanding he’s given me over the past few months of my life. for those that don’t know, i haven’t seen my seed since thanksgiving. my wife and i have had the most colorful, disparaging, and depressing season of our lives. battling the emotions of living without our baby, weathering the ups and downs of 16 seniors, and triple that in, underclassmen and middle school athletes, and still building the things that we committed to doing in our life. and while grieving, i walked through and visited over 50 properties, learned the worst thing an investor can say is definitely not no. compromised, change direction, compromise, readjust, just for all my artistic ideas to be logistically laughed at. there’s an old southern black gospel song that says, “i’m reaping the harvest God promised me. i take back what the devil stole from me” so today like everyday that got my beautiful family to this point, i am grateful, even when i lose. we can finally say, we got our own. and we got our baby back. 🫂 without further ado, House 4 Athlete | West Texas Prep - June 2026.

let’s get the ball rollling. #DubsUp 🤠

been on a hamster wheel for about 4 months straight trying to put this together. i’ve failed at a lot. a lot of ideas didn’t work at all. some things fell through last minute. the worst thing people can say is definitely not no. plans changed over and over again. more than anything i’m just grateful. thank you God for giving me opportunity to change a landscape with and for the very people that built my platform. this is for the kids. for the ones that deserve real opportunity, with true intentional development. not just athletically, but academically and character wise, as well any senior hooper, coach, trainers, or parents of senior basketball players (boys) please make it a point to get in the gym these next two days. #DubsUp
