Baseball: North Feature Athlete - Northgate's Jake Abernethy
Name: Jake Abernethy
High School: Northgate
Grade: 12
Sport: Baseball
Position: Shortstop/pitcher
Background Info: Abernethy has been a standout for the Northgate basketball team over the course of his high school career, and this past fall he played football and was the Flames' leading receiver. For the final athletic feats of his scholastic career, Abernethy is in his third season as one of Northgate's top baseball players. He did not play as a junior because of a broken ankle sustained the day before the season opener. Abernethy bats third in the Flames' order and is one of their top pitchers.
Coach Todd Goble says: "He's a leader by example. He doesn't say a whole lot, but he leads by example. He's getting back into the swing of things after not playing last season. He's doing very well for coming back; playing extremely hard."
