“Jesse is one of the hardest-working players I have ever had the pleasure of coaching,” said his coach at South Side High, Jerry D’Angelo. “His drive and determination is unmatched, and he’s a fierce competitor. He has truly made his coaching staff and his high school proud of all his accomplishments.”

Reflecting on his scoring mark, Winter said, “It was a great accomplishment for me on a personal level, because it really shows that years of dedication and hard work really paid off. Getting that record was extremely humbling, and was a tribute to my teammates and coaches throughout the years for always pushing me to be the best that I can be.”
