Up North Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) This young man will be competing at the East Chicago semistate Saturday. Down deep, how can you not cheer for him? When he wrestles, he will have a lady running circles around the mat and using sign language to get the coaches' instructions to him. It is an amazing sight.

sstark Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 WOW!!! What an incredible story. I hope this young man is able to overcome the odds this weekend and complete his vision quest.

FCFIGHTER170 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 You talk about being a inspiration, this young man amazing! It broke my heart reading about the abuse he lived through and that hits home BIG TIME! Thanks for posting this Joe.. this young man has a bright bright future and regardless of what happens he's a champion of life! And if he doesn't make it to state he should compete at Frosh/ sophomore state. grappleapple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rookie78 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Prett awesome. We wrestled against Jacob at the Whitko MS duals tournament while he was a student at Edgewood for several years. What an achievement for him. The sky is the limit. Best of luck young man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up North Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 For what it is worth, WSBT-TV, Channel 22 in South Bend, is planning a feature on Jacob Bass this Wednesday evening. Too bad he lost in the ticket round at East Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
