JD'S Achievements, just a portion
JD had many accomplishments, too many to list, but I will list as many as I can remember.
A gifted pitcher he was throwing 55mph @ 9 years old
He pitched almost a perfect game in regionals @ 10 posting 13 strikeouts
He had an identical game that a picture was taken of and it's posted on the site during regular season play.
He had two incredible seasons at bat his 9 & 10 year old years, he posted 19 homeruns and 54 rbi's @ 9 and almost the same at 10
He placed 2nd in his first wrestling match @ 9
At 12 he moved to competitive ball carrying a 615 batting average through 43 games and a 997 fielding average at first base
He shot an archery tournament @ 10 and scored so high they changed the age bracket, he scored 311, second place scored 85 the picture is of him and his trophy are on the site.
At 11 he launched a 225ft grand slam home run to defeat the defending champions (we kept this game ball)(we have several home run balls but this was his favorite)
He shot his first deer with a rifle @ 11 (I have it mounted) a 136 lb 9 pt. Buck
He took 3 deer with his bow in 2002
He took a hog with that same bow in 2002
His love for football won him many awards, among those he received tee-shirts from his 7th grade through 11th for attending and meeting the requirements of football summer pride, he was one of only two in his class to do this.
He started varsity all 12 games on offense as a sophomore
He started varsity on both sides of the ball and played every game but one his junior year (he couldn't play due to a knee injury)
He won numerous medals in discus and shotput his 8th, 9th and 10th grade years (he couldn't participate his junior year due to shoulder surgery)
We have boxes full of trophies, plaques and awards he received in all sports
He was a member of who's who among high school students
he maintained a 3.3 or better gpa
These are just some of the things he accomplished and there are plenty more I just don't remember them all.
He arrived in heaven with his lord and savior on May 6th 2005
