Jacob Chadbourne has always been a talented athlete, but this year, he has taken on more of a leadership role, Lake Region varsity baseball Coach Andrew Stacy said.

“As a senior with his experience, I expected that from him, and his willingness to constantly challenge himself and improve himself as a young man is a nice example to see,” Coach Stacy said.

In recognition of his strong work ethic, determination, commitment and good sportsmanship, Jacob is this week’s Boosters and Hancock Lumber “Player of the Week.” Each week, a Lake Region athlete is recognized for his/her dedication (does more than what is asked), work ethic, coachability and academic good standing. Recipients receive a specially-designed t-shirt, sponsored by Hancock Lumber.
