Hibbett<\/a>, in partnership with Nike, has officially named the Duncanville High School boys and girls basketball programs as the latest recipient of their F1RST STRING<\/a><\/strong> initiative. The $50,000 donation was made to celebrate the launch of The Origin<\/a><\/em> with Duncanville alum and Orlando Magic point guard, Anthony Black<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The donation event took place in a special gathering at Duncanville High School on December 18th, where student-athletes and school staff came together to commemorate Black\u2019s journey from high school standout to NBA success. The F1RST STRING initiative, which focuses on empowering the next generation of student-athletes, provided not only funding for the basketball programs but also additional opportunities for career development and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe couldn\u2019t think of a more fitting way to commemorate the launch of The Origin<\/em> with Anthony Black than by naming Duncanville as a F1RST STRING recipient,\u201d said Sarah Wangaard, Hibbett Vice President of Marketing. \u201cAnthony\u2019s journey to the NBA has deep roots here, and this program is designed to make a lasting impact for these student-athletes, on and off the court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
