Commentary
I was proud to compete in the PIL and represent Jefferson athletically. Our class had a sense of school pride that's as passionate today as we were over 20 years ago. I was blessed to play alongside some remarkable athletes that brought out the best in me, and I’m honored to be apart of Jefferson’s legacy of accomplished athletes.
