Jake Bertalotto

Mar 16, 2008 Dec 18, 2009 1991 3336

Jake Bertalotto has aspirations of working in a collegiate athletic department some day. For now, writing about the Beavers is the closest he can reasonably get, so it's what occupies the majority of his time. But if it's not college box scores he's mulling over, it's high school box scores. Jake simply doesn't miss football, basketball, or baseball games. Is Jake playing in all these games, you may ask? That's a negative. While he'd like to blame the end to his playing career on a broken metatarsel suffered in a football game sophomore year, he can't. Jake quickly realized upon entrance into high school that his future wasn't on the playing field-- it was on the sidelines. He's turned into what he likes to call a "Coach's Assistant", and has the polo shirts to prove it. Filming, analyzing film in the wee hours of Saturday mornings, and riding busses all over the Portland Metropolitan Area are just some of the common tasks Jake encounters in any given day.

Then, he has to deal with ya'll on Building the Dam. Tough life, you might say. But he loves every minute .
