In a feature story posted on the school district’s website, William Floyd lacrosse player Jake Taylor is profiled for his skill, but also overcoming being born with club feet and hip dysplasia.
“I never even knew about my feet and hip until recently when I found my old casts and braces in my bedroom closet,” said Jake. “I began playing lacrosse, soccer and football at an early age and my parents didn’t think I should know. I had to wear orthotics in my sneakers but I didn’t think it was anything major.”
Now Jake plays in one of the toughest high school lacrosse divisions in the world.
