The kid might have the biggest smile in Wolf Nation.
Even after taking a baseball to the face and getting all busted up last season, Jacob Zettle had the grin back on his face by the next time he returned to visit his teammates in the CHS dugout.
Mr. Zettle, who turns 16 today, plays football and baseball for Coupeville High School (previously he was a swimmer), but his impact goes far beyond those two fields.
He comes across as one of those guys who it’s always easy to root for, because he brings a mix of friendliness and joy to everything he does.
Whether he’s playing, or up in the press box running things during a game, he dives head-first into everything he does.
Which might be why he got whacked in the face by that pitch…
I kid. I kid. Next time, duck.
Jacob just seems like a quality guy, one who is deeply committed to his faith (through Coupeville’s Living Hope Foursquare Church), his family, his friends and his teammates.
He meets and greets everyone with a huge smile and an open spirit, and we just want to return the favor on his cake day.
Happy birthday, Jacob.
May your day shine as brightly as you do.
