Jacob Bowles

Donovan Catholic's senior leader played like a star and its young core stepped up to author a huge 12-inning win at Lacey.

Lacey senior Jacob Bowles followed up his opening-day no-hitter by battling for a complete-game win over dominant counterpart Nick Danbrowney from Barnegat.

Lacey entered 2020 without a senior in its starting lineup, so the Lions enter 2021 with plenty of senior talent and high expectations.

Lacey has pulled together an impressive group of sophomores who are hoping for a breakthrough season in 2021.
