SPOTLIGHT ATHLETE – Ben Jacobs

As a middle schooler, Ben Jacobs had trouble even making the junior varsity baseball team at Heritage Christian Academy.

Fast forward five years, and Jacobs is coming off his second straight season that saw him named to the All-State Baseball Team in the Kentucky Christian Athletic Association.  During his senior season that concluded earlier this month in the KCAA State Semifinals, Jacobs was one of the top pitchers for the Warriors and tossed a pair of no-hitters.

At the season-ending banquet to honor an HCA team that went 20-5 during the season, Jacobs took home the team MVP Award and more importantly, the Christian Character Award.  For those who have witnessed the hard work Jacobs has put in, neither comes as a surprise.

Ben is hoping the work he has put in on both the diamond and classroom pays off with a chance to play baseball in college.
