Jacob Matthews will be participating in the 2011 38th Annual National Junior Olympic Championships the week of June 21st through June 26th. As you know Jacob is a rising star in our sport today and has done well in his first visit at last year's tournament. He has also been a part of the Elite Team Camp for Junior players.
He has worked hard to make this year's trip. Jacob has saved and raised money to cover his registration, lodging and travel expenses. The NCRA along with local farmers has sponsored this player in some kind of way. If any racquetball players would like to sponsor a meal or support in any other way, please contact his coach Teri Horne-King at
HorneT@ecu.edu, his mother Donna Matthews at
icdwmatthews20@yahoo.com / 252-670-1081 or contact him at
jkmatthews96@yahoo.com.
You can find Jacob at Gold's Gym in Greenville practicing almost on a daily basis or on Facebook enjoying his friends. The family would like to thank everyone for their continue support in Jacob as he works hard on his racquetball journey.
