THE TALE OF TWO TOOL SETS
The Jackson Jobe high school story has been a thing of fairytale fiction, and all it needs now is its storybook ending.
Jobe left middle school athletic but undersized. When the 18-year-old two-way player was little, his best sport was soccer, but the son of a professional golfer eliminated everything but football and baseball by the time he got to Heritage Hall High in Oklahoma City. Joining the Chargers for his sophomore year, Jobe was a quarterback and safety in the fall, and a shortstop who would head to the mound to close games in the spring. His junior year would have followed the same pattern, if the coronavirus pandemic hadn’t brought his baseball season to an end after four games.
That’s when the tale of the turning tide began.
