Beaver Falls' Jeter handles traveling call
21.05.12
A run through the PIAA playoffs could take Beaver Falls and Sheldon Jeter to various places around Pennsylvania, but Jeter's schedule already has him all over the map.
Last weekend it was a WPIAL Class AA championship on Saturday night and a recruiting trip to Wisconsin the next day. This weekend for Jeter, it's a PIAA playoff game Saturday afternoon and a trip to Kansas State the next day.
"Mentally, sometimes it's hard to focus because my mind will be in five different places at once," Jeter said.
Many other high school players wish they had such problems.
Jeter is a senior basketball player at Beaver Falls High School who is trying to push his team to a PIAA championship, while being pulled by major-college programs. This past Sunday, while on his recruiting visit to Wisconsin, he spent time at the home of Badgers coach Bo Ryan.
"I've tried to tell him to just have fun with the recruiting," said Jeter's father, Carliss. "I told him there are a lot of kids all over the country who would love to be in your shoes."
