Jack Dreisbach has been a three-year member of the Parkland basketball team, and a two-year starter for a team that won four consecutive District 11 Class 4A titles, and two straight league championships.

“It was a great four years,” Dreisbach said. “We had some great teams and won a lot of games. It is something I will never forget, playing with these guys.”

Dreisbach learned the game at a young age. His father, Bill, has been an assistant coach for Parkland and coached Jack over his four-year career.

But it began even before he became a Parkland High School student, when Jack’s father coached him in youth basketball.

“I played for Schnecksville with Kyle [Stout] when we were younger,” Jack Dreisbach said. “Noel [Brouse] was on our team and a couple of other kids, so we grew up together. We had a good team. It was always us and Emmaus that were winning. And my dad was our coach so it was nice to have a familiar face as our coach.”

Bill Dreisbach played basketball in high school at Allen. He has been a big part of Jack’s success.

“My dad has been a great influence on me,” said Dreisbach. “He played the game. He knows the game, and he teaches it to me. I’ve been fortunate to have that knowledge since I was a kid.”

Jack is also a standout on the boys volleyball team, which heads into the season as the defending state champions with nearly all of last year’s team returning.

Besides the four district and two conference gold medals, Dreisbach has earned six gold medals in his three years thus far on the volleyball team. The Trojans won the district, league and state tournaments in 2015.

“Last year was great for our program,” Dreisbach said. “It was a great run and we’re looking forward to being able to defend the title this year.”

Dreisbach is also a student-manager on the girls volleyball team, which has won back-to-back state titles. His sister Kirah, a Parkland sophomore, is a member of the girls volleyball team.

With the basketball season now complete after a run to the state quarterfinals, the senior will focus on volleyball and deciding where to spend the four years after high school.

“I’m down to Scranton and DeSales,” said Dreisbach. “They’re both great schools and have been there since day one. They want me to play basketball so I’m weighing those options. The coaches are all great and both campuses are really nice. I can see myself at either school.”
