Jaques accepts offer to play two sports at Belhaven College

BRIDGE CITY — The only doubt Becca Mathews has ever had in her head about Christina Jaques has always been if Jaques knew how good Jaques really is.

Obviously Belhaven College in Jackson, Miss. noticed the potential Monday because Jaques is headed that way to play not only softball but volleyball as well.

The Bridge City graduate and two-year star at Lamar State College-Port Arthur accepted a scholarship to play both sports at Belhaven late Wednesday night after trying out for the volleyball at the college on Monday.

“I have no words for how excited I am for her,†Mathews said. “She never lost anything after being away from volleyball for two years. She is such an amazing athlete.â€

Mathews guaranteed Belhaven volleyball coach Lydia Smith she would come away impressed with Jaques and that her only weakness would be she needed to get back into a volleyball routine.
