Prior to NJIT: Pure shooter and two-time first-team All-Virginia selection playing for Williamsburg Christian Academy. ...With over 2,000 career points, Duncan capped his career in 2012-13 as a senior, averaging 25 ppg, 4 apg, and 2 spg. … Career-high scoring game was 38 points against Broadwater Academy, ranked 6th in Virginia state Division 3 at the time. ...Duncan raised his game last year in the face of adversity. His league ruled 10 games into the season that Jake's fellow co-captain and 20 points per game scorer was ineligible, turning a 10-0 start on the court into an 0-10 won-lost mark in the record books. ...Duncan stepped up to lead WCA to victory in 14 of its final 19 regular season games in its bid to repeat as Virginia Independent Schools (VISAA) Division 3 state champs. Jake's efforts, which also included guarding the opposition's top scorer each night, were rewarded with a repeat selection as a first-team VISAA all-state honoree and as Metro Conference Most Valuable Player. ...The year before, Duncan, as a junior, helped Williamsburg Christian to a 29-7 mark and the VISAA state Division 3 championship, as well as the Metro Conference regular season title. Honors that year included: VISAA Division 3 All-State first team, VISAA All-Tournament, Virginia Gazette (Williamsburg newspaper) All-Area, and All-Metro first team. ...In all, he was all-state three times (first-team twice), all-conference three times, and all-area first team twice. Being Williamsburg Christian's all-time scoring leader with over 2,000 points is impressive enough on its face. Looking closer, Jake's points total surpassed Deron Powers, a 2012 WCA graduate who was the 2011-12 VISAA Division 3 Player of the Player of the Year, before heading to play college ball in 2012-13 at Hampton, where he earned Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year honors.
