STATESBORO – Adversity has never obstructed men’s golf fifth-year senior Jake Maples. He has always found a way through or around hardship and summoned the strength to move forward.
Stoic but brimming with confidence, he has heard words like “no” and “can’t” more times than he cares to remember, and his physical response tends to be a shrug of the shoulders and maybe a wry smile. There might be a comment, dripping with his dry wit and sarcasm. But make no mistake, a fire will have been ignited, and it will drive him to work and ultimately prosper.
