After hitting her 1000th career point during the 2023 State Championship game and being recognized during the first home game of the season this year, Lauren Jacobs '25 has officially hit her 1000th point at Heathwood! Congrats, Lauren!
Our starting left tackle the last 3 seasons and current NFL prospect chose to pass up participating in our pro day today because he’s decided to attend medical school. A lot of people asked him “WHY” when he chose Duke. He made a 40 year college decision not a 4 year decision.
