games this year because of in-
juries and illness.
He found time in those 15
games to average 22.4 points,
making him one of the highest
scorers in Oakland County. Ja-
cob has been touted as one of the
best seniors-to-be in the county,
and Andover coach Ed Oku-
niewski doesn't disagree.

By the end of the
round, he led the
field of 53
competitors.

"If Jeff can bulk up a little bit,
which would help his confidence,
the sky's the limit," Okuniews-
ki said. "He's the most talented
player I've coached in my 10
years at Andover.
"Jeff can score at will on
jumpers, off the dribble and by
taking the ball to the hole. Plus,
he's a phenomenal ball-handler."
Andover senior Dan Kukes
also took part in the 3-point con-
test at Troy. Paired with Jacob
in the first round, Kukes scored
just six points and he didn't make
it to the semifinals. ❑

loomfield Hills Andover
High School basketball
star Jeff Jacob had the
near-capacity crowd at
Troy High School roaring.
The noise cascaded down from
the bleachers while Jacob was
scoring 25 of a possible 30 points
in the first round of the 3-point
shooting contest in the Oakland
County Slam Dunk and 3-Point
Shoot-Out on March 31.
By the end of the round, Jacob
led the field of 53 competitors.
Unfortunately, the 6-foot-3 junior
guard slipped to five points in the
semifinals, which included the
top 12 scorers from the first
round, and he was eliminated.
Jacob's 25-point explosion
turned out to be the best score
recorded during the entire 3-point
contest. -
"I was more nervous in the
semifinals, and that made a dif-
ference," Jacob said. "In the first
round, I just went out and shot
the ball without thinking about
it because I didn't think I'd do that
well. I really surprised myself.
"I guess I'm more disappoint-
ed about the semifinals than I am
excited about the first round. Af-
ter scoring 25 points, I expected
to do better than five points."
Jacob missed nearly all of his
sophomore basketball season
with a broken ankle and he saw
