Versatile Brentwood senior basketball player scoring big

Written by John D' Abruzzo on .

John D' Abruzzo's feature on Brentwood's Jason Pilarski:

"Don't bother telling Jason Pilarski about high school athletes who only focus on one sport.

A senior at Brentwood, Pilarksi competes for four different teams during the school year, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

"I love sports," he said. "I like playing these sports and I might as well do it now in high school while I still can."

During the fall, Pilarski split time between playing defender for the boys soccer team while also serving as the football team's place kicker. In the winter, he's a starting guard for the boys basketball team and he plans on returning to the baseball diamond to pitch and play the infield in the spring."
