Many teams throw out the word “family” to describe themselves.
For the boys basketball team at Clever High School, which features two sets of twins, family is an apt description.
Senior Jakob Partee spent much of his career playing alongside Jared and Derek Sopok and Mark and Matt Christoffer. The 6-foot-6 Partee is the anomaly in a loaded senior class.
“I don’t have a twin, unfortunately. I wish I did,” Partee said.
Partee (pronounced “par-TEE”) serves as the leading scorer and the adhesive that holds together Clever’s roster full of seniors, who hope to close their careers with a lasting legacy.
