COACHES REMARKS
"Talk about a big gift from above! How such a powerful force can have such humility and meekness (power under control) is a true compliment to Jaden's God, parents, coaches, and teachers. The perfect teammate. J demands double and triple teams, while leading the country in Field Goal Percentage over 70%, but I have never heard him once complain about not getting the ball.He is the backbone of one of best defensive teams in the country, while also dominating the paint on the offensive end. He can run the floor, pass, and his outside shot is improving by the minute. He is a joy to coach, plays hurt, and wants to be pushed. He is so disciplined in the weight room and in his diet that it has become contagious with his teammates. He loves some Jesus, loves his teammates, and is speaking at the high school FCA this Friday. He makes all A's, has an awesome work ethic, and loves practice. I could go on all day about him!No he is not driving the bus yet, but Jaden has earned this honor by leading our team to another KCAC Conference Championship."
