Baylor University's coveted Bobby Jones Memorial Award is an annual honor given to an outstanding senior student-athlete for leadership, scholarship, sportsmanship, and team play.  Jake LaMar, a 2004 graduate of Covenant, is this year's recipient, and received the award at the October 24 Baylor Homecoming game.  Jake finished his college career in 2008 as Baylor's all-time leader in games played with 47. While at Baylor, he played safety for the Bears and was a four-time Academic All-Big 12 selection. He also earned honorable mention All-Big 12 recognition as a junior with three sacks, 67 tackles, and 5.5 tackles for loss.

At Covenant, Jake earned All-State honors his senior year as a linebacker and running back, and helped advance the Cougars to the TAPPS state semifinals. 
As a junior, Jake played quarterback, leading his team to an 11-1 record, a district title, and a state runner-up finish.  Jake said that going to Covenant really prepared him for college, both academically and athletically.  It is still a very special place for him. "When I got to college, I felt very prepared. CCA is a good Christian school, and I know that my parents sacrificed to put me, my brother, and my sisters through, and I feel very blessed because of that. I felt that it was a place that I grew spiritually, mentally, and physically."
