2003 IHSAA 4A State Runner Up

EAST NOBLE'S JEFF WEDDING NAMED ESKEW MENTAL ATTITUDE AWARD WINNER

Jeff Wedding of Class 4A state runner-up East Noble High School was named winner of the 2003 Class 4A Football Phil N. Eskew Mental
Attitude Award.

At the conclusion of each state championship game, the IHSAA Executive Committee presents the award to an outstanding senior participant in the football state tournament. The recipient of the award, who was nominated by his principal and coach, must excel in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability. The award is named in honor of the third commissioner of the IHSAA who served from 1962 to 1976 and oversaw the beginning of the state football tournament.

Jeff ranks 71st in his class of 262 and is a member of the National Honor Society. His college choice is yet to be determined. His volunteer activities include work with the Noble House, Light the Night and participation in summer sports camps. He is active in the Athletic Leadership Council and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

With a number of conference and area awards to his credit, Jeff has earned varsity letters in basketball and track and is a recipient of the East Noble Blanket Award. Jeff is the son of Linda and Brent Wedding of Kendallville.

Farm Bureau Insurance, the IHSAA corporate partner, presented a $1,000.00 scholarship to East Noble High School in the name of Jeff Wedding.
