“I couldn’t be more proud of jack. I got to watch Jack grow into one of the best leaders I have ever had since he was 12 years old. It’s extremely difficult to see Jack Kelly age out, but there are big things ahead for this young man. St Norberts is getting a player filled with character and work ethic. Good luck Captain Jack” -Team Smack
