West Orange Lacrosse Player Volunteers, 'Always Wears A Big Smile'

WEST ORANGE, NJ — We all know student athletes who also bring their A-game to other parts of their lives. And there are no shortage of them in West Orange.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know the individual stories behind the leaderboard.

This submission comes from Kevin Reilly, who nominated "Jake," a lacrosse player in West Orange.

According to Reilly:

"Jake achieves in all areas. He is a solid student, a member of the AF ROTC, a key member of the WOHS lacrosse team, does volunteer work for his church, and most importantly, always wears a big smile across his face."

Keep up the great work, Jake!
