Jackson Judge is a senior captain of the Jonathan Law baseball team. Advocate Staff Reporter Marina Cosmas interviewed Judge about the season so far.

Marina Cosmas: How did it feel to step into the role of captain this season?

Jackson Judge: Stepping up to be a captain felt like it was a necessity to keep the team together and motivated to keep showing up every day and keep moving forward after some unfortunate events during the season. 

MC: How has this season been different from last season?

JJ: This season’s been much more chaotic and unpredictable compared to last year. Losing five starting seniors left a lot of space to fill, and I think the younger guys did a really good job at stepping up and being reliable. 

MC: What has been the main goal this season?

JJ: The main goal, like every year, is to first qualify for States, then after that, to take one game at a time, trying to win as many rounds as we can. 

MC: What has motivated you most through this season?

JJ: What motivated me the most was knowing that this is my last year of high school baseball, going out on the field one day at a time, trying to be as successful as we possibly can. 

MC: What are you going to miss most about baseball? 

JJ: Stepping up to be a captain felt like it was a necessity to keep the team together and motivated to keep showing up every day and keep moving forward.
