Quote (from Rich Smith, Verona Area High School): Jake has been an absolute pleasure to work with for the past three years and will be sorely missed by his teammates and the coaching staff. Jake has a great sense of humor and an easy-going nature and he used these positive traits to be a very effective leader. Jake has a way of putting his teammates at ease and letting every player know how important they are to the success of the team
