High School Sports Records

would you believe that we both still. hold athletic records at our high school. hey I'm Jessica and this is Coco we're. from Wisconsin let's talk about. [Music]. [Applause]. that accomplishment no no but you were. looking really cool are you trying me. makers of amazing musical applications. including the magic piano download it. now on the iPad iPhone or Android device. we're releasing a music video soon it's.

going to have a contest associated with. it that you'll need to play that magic. piano so get it link you know what this. is It's a high school basketball jersey. it says Harnet Central it actually this. is number 23 this is a Kim K Jones's. Jersey he was my teammate uh is that his. number or his jersey both that's his. actual Jersey no I think it's just his. number but I thought it sounded more. nostalgic to say that King K Jones was.

the only guy taller than you on. basketball 6' N I would throw him the. alleyoop they used to say okay so I play. basketball in in high school we coach. we're actually in coach Gage's classroom. filming uh this week and Coach Gage was. my basketball coach he was also our. European history teacher he teaches uh. several histories now I don't know this. is a history classroom I feel like I'm. learning history now by symbiosis but. that's not even the right word it's not. science it doesn't matter he didn't have.

my jersey he doesn't he didn't like hold. on to my jersey although as we're about. to explore maybe he should have uh but. he gave us he gave me this one to just. kind of I guess to wear I like to wear. jerseys you guys know that I wear. jerseys all the time he gave he gave me. a jersey too it's over there and I said. well I feel like I need to try out for. something or at least sink a shot before. I can wear this thing so mine's over. there I don't I don't feel worthy to. show you that because uh well in middle. school I kept score for the women's.

basketball that was your your basketball. Peak that's how good I was at basketball. I kept score for it for the girls. version in middle school no offense to. you girls who play sports but you know. what I'm getting. at. um we it was complicated there's X's. meant stuff and O's meant stuff and yeah. you had to pay a lot of attention like. they would score like every seven. minutes and you had to like Mark it down. okay so I get this question a lot from. from a lot of old people my age and.

older cannot resist asking are you that. guy from Twilight no well I get that a. lot so you play basketball like so you. play basketball like even now yeah like. you like you play basketball I'm like uh. I did and I always say I used to I used. to yeah I used to a lot and if they. start asking follow-up questions I go. into my whole Spiel I was like yeah I. mean up until the time I was 18 like. basketball was like my life I thought I. was going to play college basketball I. was being recruited by people and we we.

had long conversations because we've. been best friends forever and we knew we. wanted to go to school together and we. knew at one point that we wanted to work. together after school and we wanted to. able to make that happen well we took a. Blood Oath we took a Blood Oath you know. about that in middle school so how is. this Blood Oath going to make it through. my college basketball you going to take. a scholarship somewhere that was. probably going to dictate where I went. to college and keep score right for the. women's team yeah yeah yeah cuz you good. at that oh I mean it's easy to meet the. ladies yes and so but anyway all that to.

say that I played a lot of basketball. and I really hit my Peak iend I did not. end up playing in college decided not to. do that I'm glad I decided not to do. that in retrospect however when I was. here at Harnet Central as link alluded. to before I set a record now being a 67. guy you might the second tallest guy on. the team of five people there five. people right on the so I was a tall man. but I I hold the the single season. record.

my senior year I hit 77. three-pointers we went on to the second. or third round of the state championship. and and lost we actually got beat by the. team that went on to win the state. championship I thought Brooks broke your. record Brooks did not Brooks was a much. better player friend of mine who's Now. assistant coach at UNCC Wilmington. Brooks Lee was a better player than me. but he scored in other ways all I did. was wait for them to pass me the ball. and to shoot a three I remember watching. you guys play I wasn't keep score for. the men's I was just watching yeah and.

you would come down and it would be near. your bench like past the three-point. line would be the bench right where the. players who weren't playing were sitting. and I would like mingle over there yeah. you'd be like drinking water and talking. to him and waiting for a pass just to. shoot a three you would not run in the. offense or well go in the paint a little. bit I didn't go into the paint much cuz. King K was there number 23 but I sat. over there it was just like double. dribble you know remember the old double. dribble game double dribble and there. was that little sweet spot on the elbow. I would just get into the double dribble. spot and I hit 77 it is a it is the.

harness Central High School record I. don't know how many I shot it was pretty. high percentage but I made 77. three-pointers hold the record to this. day I challenge you Harnet Central High. School basketball players to break my. record I do they and is there anything. in here that commemorates that there. should be I I need proof of this go to. the ask anal go to the annals of Coach. Gage's mind yeah that sounds a little. weird I don't want to go there I don't. want to visit but you know I myself have. my own bragging rights in the area of. sport Sports I was skilled at the.

world's most popular sport football yes. or here in America soccer soccer cuz I'd. never wear pads to do anything well you. had I'm not a woman well you had NE you. had uh shin pads sh they're not called. pads they're called guards Shin Shin. pads what I call I don't wear any kind. of pads and didn't you wore shoulder. pads in your jersey didn't you in my. blazers when I when I dressed up nice. yes hand me- Downs for my mom no I. didn't wear pads of any kind your mom. had like a big blue blazer that was like.

a v a very v-shaped with large like. Shaka Khan style stuff yeah that's cuz. she was high fashioned she also watches. this I love you Mom don't crack on my. mom's fashion actually her husband. watches it and tells her things that is. happening so now he's he's telling her. now and I'm I have to live there for the. next couple of nights so I don't want. you to cross it okay sorry Sue we we. love your shoulder pads mom bring that. style back anyway I wore shin guards and. I played soccer and I was I was pretty. decent but I was I was a St.

ER well what does that do that's like a. defensive position in the middle of the. field like a midfielder that is more. defensive than offensive I wasn't big in. offense but coach brandle pulled me a. sign one he said I need to put you on. the wing now I knew that the wing had to. run a whole lot more and I got winded. pretty easily so I was nervous about. that but he puts me at the Winger. position the right wing and it was a. home game that night I remember it. because I what I would do is I would. come to the games and I would and I. score no I didn't keep score I would get. all of our friends to cheer for you and.

you exclusively and so and you were on. the bench some of the time but this was. I think this a senior year so you were. out there a lot junior year junior year. this a junior year and and we would. obnoxiously cheer for you like because. it was so Qui it was it's soccer people. don't really cheer for soccer what that. supposed to mean but we would because. it's just kind of it's not the kind of. sport that you like cheer for a whole. lot especially in America we would like. be up there and we'd be yelling out your. name and yelling things at you and. telling them to put you in I would feed. off of that and I would you know would. have bursts I remember this night when.

they put you up in a position to score. we were all very excited and I. remember let's see I remember the second. one I'm trying to remember the okay I. remember the first one M the first goal. I scored in the game it was I was. running up and I was really winded and. when you get really winded you lose just. control of your faculties I was I was. peeing on myself I was just no I wasn't. but you you know your legs turn a jelly. and you can't really can't control. yourself and I remember I was running.

and they kicked the ball up to the. forwards and it missed it missed the. forward who was Josh Young and he's. running after and it was just him and. the goalie and then the goalie goes and. there's a scramble and the. ball pops out and I run I'm like I'm. never going to get there I'm never going. to get there and then the ball popped. out at the perfect time and I literally. ran the ball into the go you just it was. it wasn't like you saw the ball it was. like you just ran and it ended up. hitting your left foot is the one that. knocked it in.

and we went ballistic and I turned. around and I was standing in the net. like I had hit it with my left foot and. I had walked into the net with it and it. was just like trying to catch my breath. they were like you scored goal Lake nail. with the goal then adrenaline rush and I. remember just running and doing that. thing where you slide on your knees or. well I didn't do that I do remember I. thought about taking my shirt off well I. do remember after you scored it was like. I saw you in a light I've never seen you. in because you haven't let's just be. honest you're a scorekeeper you haven't. been the most successful in sports so. you didn't exactly know how to act after.

a great accomplishment no no but you. were looking really cool or you're. trying to you like you like slowed down. a little bit and you kind of ran around. and that was when we all quit no no. cheering and started laughing that was. the second goal oh really the first goal. I went ballistic and then the second. goal it was a this this is second half. of the game I I don't think they were. quarters two halves good I knew that. they were doing a corner kick it's when. the kick comes from the corner I know. about this too and the ball was coming. at me and you're supposed to jump up and.

hit it with your head into the goal and. score and I tried to do that but my legs. were still jelly so I didn't get up that. high and then my the ball was coming. down and it was going to miss my head. and am I going to chest it in you know. that's doesn't seem right and I just put. my left foot out again I am right footed. put my left foot out again and made. impeccable contact I it was any it was. awesome it was awesome anything except a. bicycle kick would not would have PED in. compar and how awesome it was boom.

perfect contact with this foot right. here this left foot of mine right into. the go zing and I turned around and I. realized I can't I can't look like a. total idiot like a turkey running around. like I did with the last goal I got to. act like I meant to do this one and. that's when you started doing that and. then I just you're string I look more. like a chicken this time and we could. not believe it two goals in a row now. and I think that's a record two goals. with the with the off foot of a soccer. player in that time frame who's never by. a person who hasn't played that position. before you hold that record it's.

unofficial but you you and someone who. after that day never scored a goal the. rest of his career or life is a human. being now that was it two goals in one. game never a goal before never a goal. after beat that Harnet Central soccer. players at this time in your life before. we end this episode I have to say a very. funny related thing is that my dad my. father ended up later in the season. actually your senior year ended up being. the announcer the the the color. commentary well actually he was just.

supposed to announce people line coming. in and he was supposed to say gold by. link Neil with his left foot buy your. raffle ticket blah blah blah that's all. he was supposed to do but my dad I get a. lot of the way that I am from my dad and. he could not resist being up there and. having a microphone so what ended up. happening this is the time when on SNL. Rob Schneider was doing that thing in. the copy room where you would come in. there making copies and he would say. your name like link linator Tom well my. dad thought that it would be a good idea.

to on the loudspeaker at the soccer. games to call link out like that first. thing he would do is if link was on the. bench he would say all right why don't. we get Link in there let's put Link in. the game this is the announcer the. official announcer my dad coaches love. that yeah he's like let's put Link in. the game and then they would put Link in. the game everybody would cheer in our. section oh and so I'd be throwing the. ball in be like oh the linator throwing. in the soccer ball even when you were. out there running around you like there. goes link look at him go he's comen ing. on you and you only my dad and they.

fired him they they they let him. announce for a few games and then they. were just like should we just tell him. he can't talk about link or should we. just let him go they replaced him glad. I'm glad they didn't make me go with him. I mean I wasn't I wasn't producing. anymore I was stopping and how. embarrassing was it you would be about. to throw it in he would be talking about. you it was you weren't supposed to do. that the opposing team is like wow we. need to Triple team this guy he must be. awesome link must be great he doesn't. really ever do anything though yeah he. must be playing us for you know when. they have a pool shark guy what do they. do they don't they might be hustling.

he's Hustler let's in the episode with. the invisible wheel of mythicality go. and let's see what it's going to land on. oh wow it landed on link gets amnesia. okay because we we predetermined what. these would be they should have been. more awesome or more pre-planned but. they're not so act like I haven't we. just got some off of the. wheel. he. uh who who are you I'm I'm I'm I'm right.
