Back in high school, Miami Heat guard Jaime Jaquez was one of the highest-scoring basketball players in the nation, while Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud starred not only in football but on the basketball court. Just a couple counties away in southern California, their two schools faced off against each other on the hardwood in 2019.
Stroud recently said on a podcast that in their matchup, he put up 40 points and hit the game-winning shot for his school, Rancho Cucamonga, against Jaquez’s Camarillo High School. “Have you ever had a moment where they rushed the floor for you hitting the game-winner?” he asked fellow NFL player Micah Parsons on the podcast.
