JB White was a phenomenal basketball player for Santa Fe High School and earned national recognition, along with several college athletic scholarships before selection to play for the UNM Lobos. Unfortunately, JB's life was tragically taken by gun violence within Santa Fe County on August 1, 2020.
The Mission of the JB White Scholarship Tournament is to empower our youth by raising awareness about gun violence while supporting our local high school student athletes by providing academic scholarships.
We had the privilege to help present First Place trophies for all divisions and take a photo with the winning teams.
We also had a wonderful time seeing all the talented players on the court and joining our community to cheer them on during the event. We are looking forward to next year’s tournament!
