BIOGRAPHY

One of the longest tenured 3.0 captains in Ohio 3.0 history, James has captained 10 3.0 teams in 10 3.0 years, and only one of those years as an actual player on said team!  Indeed, taking a more analytical approach, James "Jim" Jacobs prefers to lead from the sideline, and lead he has, to the tune of over 100 career 3.0 captain wins, almost 40 more than the runner-up!  And Jim hasn't just thrown out the 'ol fuzzy yellow tennis balls, nay, he has led, leading his teams to a record seven Flight Championships and the playoffs in nine of 10 tries!  Along the way he's won a record league, playoff, and overall wins, for if there's one thing Jim knows, it's winning!
