The Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé Crimson Bears baseball team will honor senior outfielder Jacob “Jake” Katasse, senior catcher JJ “Kung Fu Master” McCormick and senior outfielder/infielder Christian “Chris” Nelson on Saturday at Adair Kennedy Memorial Park after their 4 p.m. game against Ketchikan and before their 7 p.m. game with the Kings.

In the senior team programs, all three thanked their parents, coaches, teammates, family members and friends, and advised younger players to push themselves, never give up, and to put their heads down and work to be “your best self on and off the field.”

Katasse has played baseball for 11 years, his favorite food is steak and he said, “Baseball taught me if you take things too seriously, you’ll never have any fun. Baseball is a game of errors, so don’t let mistakes country wise email marketing list weigh you down. Brush it off and move on.”

He listens to whatever music is on, his favorite books are the Hatchet Adventure Series by Gary Paulsen, which he discovered in sixth grade. His favorite movie is “Prisoners” with Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal and his favorite class at JDHS is fourth-period English with Angela Noon, “because it has most of my friends in it.”

Katasse said he will miss seeing his friends every day, and his favorite memory is the Little League All-Star trips.

His hobbies include going to the gym and video games. He likes Juneau because he can drive wherever he wants and not worry about anything. He is unsure where he wants to attend college.
