S.A.F.E.’s Jacob Poole made The Washington Post’s 2023 All-Met team for boys’ tennis 🥳🙌🏽 (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/06/20/2023-spring-all-met-boys-tennis-first-team-honorable-mention/):
“Poole was a steady presence amid a deep lineup of new and returning talent. He drew from a wealth of experience in both singles and doubles to build team spirit on the way to the Stags’ first Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/05/01/dematha-tennis-displays-depth-wins-its-first-wcac-title-14-years/?itid=lk_inline_manual_14) in more than a decade. His confidence on the court — and humble demeanor off it — laid the groundwork for his team’s resounding success this season.”
