Josh Jakacki was a well heralded basketball player in the northeast Ohio basketball scene in 1994 starring at Crestwood High School. He went on to have a hall-of-fame career at Hiram College where his mother had worked and he had lived. His coaching career--both at Kenston and at Crestwood-- has been built on toughness, honesty and collaboration. Ever adapting to his teams' strengths, Josh coached both of his sons at Crestwood and formed lifelong memories not only with his family but the Crestwood family at large. His year round commitment to the school, evidenced by his role as head track coach and football assistant, speaks to his willingness to work tirelessly for his community. In addition, he trains over 150 young athletes with his personal basketball training business. Next year will be his last on the bench for his hometown school.
