    2013 MVP Tri-Valley Central School shortstop Rodney "Taylor" Jester has been named co-captain of his TC3 college baseball team and also received the honor of having his picture placed on his college's website header, facebook and twitter accounts.
  He makes his Sullivan County home in Neversink. 
  Following a successful freshman year at Tompkins-Cortland Community College (TC3, Dryden, NY)  where he batted .333 with an On Base Percentage (OBP) of .349 and a Slugging Average (SLG) of .405 Jester several weeks ago in a double header against the Cornell Freshman team had five RBI's that has earned him the reputation as one of the leading hitters in this fall league season.
  TC3 Sports Information Coordinator Peter Voorhees noted that the college's website header "is the most visible image we have in athletics and it is the header on our website and the cover photo on our facebook and twitter accounts."
  Voorhees said, "we generally keep the same image up for about a year."
  "When it comes to the individual photos, we try to select students that we feel best represent our College and their respective teams," and "we start out looking for the best  returning player on each team." Voorhees added.
  The Sports Information Coordinator pointed out that, "all three of the images on this year's banner," men's baseball player (Rodney T. Jester, Tri-Valley H.S./Grahamsville, soccer player Hannah Wildenstein, Dryden H.S./Freeville and men's basketball player Joshua Spence, Bayard Rustin H.S./Brooklyn) "have great eyes and body angles that make the college logo or name visible and are good representatives of what we want our student-athletes to be.....a winning trifecta."
  Jester during this past summer competed in collegiate travel baseball with the Northeast Pride Collegiate team.
  He presently has been scouted by several large universities who have told him they want to fit him into their short stop position beginning in the fall of 2015.
