Quotes from Fort Cherry coach Kelly Lacek: "Jadyn is one of those outstanding athletes that doesn’t need a title or award to know who she is as a player. Jadyn has a spirit of excellence, is humble, she is a dependable to her teammates and coaches offensively and defensively. She is a player that starts a game with an attitude that losing isn’t an option. She is a dominate player on the court despite her quiet demeanor and size. Her play certainly is louder than she is and that’s fine. You don’t always have to be loud to lead. Her meekness is her strength and that’s why players are drawn to her. She is an encourager, a competitor, teachable and coachable. All qualities that a leader needs to possess. Jadyn will, without a doubt, play a large role in our success this season."
