One thing Jay really enjoys about coaching JV is watching players mature both on and
off the field as they progress through high school. Seeing them enter the
program as kids and leave as men is something very unique to coaching at the JV
level. He is also proud to have coached numerous scholarship players as
well as professional draft picks early in their high school careers.
