Major: Although currently undeclared, Jake plans to major in sports" management with a minor in business administration. History: Jake was a four year varsity player at his high school in Fort Wayne, moving steadily up the ranks until his junior and senior year when he was his team's number one single's player. He was three-time all conference, and was named all-state following his senior season. Jake was also chosen to represent the state of Indiana in the inaugural all-star game between Indiana and Kentucky. Stats: In his first year here, Jake has taken over Taylor's number one sin gles spot. His record stands now as one win and one loss, having retired from last week's match against the University of Indianapolis with heat exhaustion. KATE TUCKER/The Echo Goals: Individually speaking, Jake would like to go through his conference schedule with no more than one loss, qualify for nationals and win a round or two there. His goals for the team are similar: he'd like to see the team win their conference, go to nationals, and win a few rounds there. Another goal for the team though, is to develop team unity both on and off the court. ~Andy Albert son Located in Shopping Plaza Hours MON-THURS l2:00-9:00pm Athlete of the Week FRI-SAT 12:00-10:00pm SUNDAY l:00-7:00pm p
