Jake plans on attending college after graduation to pursue a degree in Agriculture and hopes to return to Polk County after college to continue to farm, continuing the legacy set by his grandparents, the Wiles, who were recently recognized as the Farm Family of the Year for Polk County back in September.
This week Jake and the Mena Bearcat Football team will travel to NW Arkansas to face Elkins, who are still undefeated in conference play this season. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 pm.
