This week’s athlete of the week (4/4) is Jaret Nelson from Nixa High School.
Nelson is a multi-sport standout for the Eagles playing forward for the boys’ basketball team and catcher for the baseball team.
The day after stepping off the court with a state runner-up finish, Nelson stepped into the batter’s box.
Since then, he hasn’t looked back.
He’s been a key piece to Nixa starting the baseball season 9-0, scoring at least a run in more than half of the games for the Eagles this season.
