JASON STRUCK AND JTHS BASEBALL By: Matthew Abdinoor

-

         Jason Struck, first baseman, is hungry to have a season this year. Struck's Freshmen year was cut due to the CoronaVirus pandemic, and Struck was unable to prove himself as an elite baseball player. This first baseman standing at astonishing 6 foot 3 and weighing in at 156 pounds is someone whom you do not want to face while playing the Jefferson Township Falcons in baseball. 

When I had interviewed him he explained, “The season being cancelled caught me off guard, because I was looking to prove myself from the start and bring it to the table.” Struck was a front runner it seems to be to either make Varsity or start first on JV his Freshmen year. 


Struck explains later on and goes to say, “I am the type of player who is willing to do anything to win.” Struck is a competitor and seems very hungry for his Sophomore year if Jefferson has one. Other schools and townships should keep an eye out. Morris Sussex sports keep an out for Mr. Jason Struck. 


Struck wants to go as far as he can with his baseball career, his dream is to go to the New York Mets as he has claimed. 


Struck will be taking a look at Vanderbuilt and Notre Dame for his baseball career in the near future. The Falcons baseball team has someone real special here.

       A way to describe Sarah Leppard is she is very outgoing when you get to know her. However, when you are just getting to know her she is a little timid and shy. She is an amazing athlete. As a freshman she started on the Varsity lacrosse team. And her Sophomore year, she started Varsity for field hockey.  She is a very down to earth person and all around a great friend and teammate.        Leppard, a Junior midfielder this season for the Jefferson Township Varsity field hockey team stated, “Last season was an amazing season - we won our conference ending with a record of 8-8-2, winning the biggest accomplishment the Jefferson Township field hockey team has ever had. This was the first time in history we wanted it.’ Leppard added, “I’m really not sure who our biggest rival would be but I would say anyone in our conference because we always wanted to beat them so we can be number one in our conference. Our most in...

  Photo taken by: Ali Sanchez Jemela Selimi plays on the Jefferson Field Hockey team. She is one of the strongest defense players but during one of the most recent games, she got hit in the eye with a ball and immediately had to be taken off the field. This interview was taken over the phone because of the Covid-19.  Jemela Selimi is a starter of three years for the field hockey team and has had a very solid four years experience playing for the JTHS field hockey team. During a tough game against Hackettstown, the Falcons were defending their goal, they had all of their sticks down waiting for a girl on the opposing team to take her free hit. Seeing her winding up for a big hit and BOOM. The ball goes flying straight at Selimi’s face like a bat out of hell. She immediately puts her hand up to her face and everyone can see she scrunches her face like she is in immense pain. She answers back to the ref “I’m ok.” As she turns around, her teammates see blood pouring down her face ...
