With only a terrific message for students, Jacob Eldridge articulately addressed 450 elementary students and numerous faculty members at Brown Elementary during their 'Achievement Celebration Day'! For almost five minutes senior basketball player Jacob Eldridge communicated the necessity for all to work hard, be persistent, and 'do right' in order to achieve in the classroom, in sports, and in life. Dressed as Scottie Reynolds (the celebrated guard from Villanova) for Halloween during senior dress up day, Jacob put down his books during his 7th period study hall to address the eager students at Brown Elementary. Jacob's articulate delivery was without note cards or notes. As a junior Jacob averaged over five points a game for the Bulldogs. However, this year he is expecting to carry more of the load on the hardwood.
Thanks for your tremendous impact Jacob!
