He helped lead the Tigers to the 2017 WPIAL title and an appearance in the PIAA title match, earning WPIAL and state recognition in his junior season. He has earned a 4.4 grade point average and is an active in a number of school and service organizations: National Honors Society, Physics Olympiad, and Orchard Hill's Kidsfest. He plans to attend Virginia Tech to study engineering. Quotes from North Allegheny coach Dan Schall: "Jason is one of the most complete players I have coached. He's a steady passer and great defensive player; he is an offensive threat from anywhere on the court. He is among the best natural blockers that we have had at North Allegheny. An incredibly smart player, he does so much to make this team go. Jason has a competitive toughness to match his ability. In last year's WPIAL title match, he got my attention and then looked to his crooked finger, running sideways from dislocation. He subbed out to have it straightened and went on to play the rest of the match. The thing is--he's an even better kid than player." |
