(Seguin) — A couple of Seguin High School basketball players are making headlines.
On Tuesday, Matador senior basketball player John Jackson moved past 2000 points in his career. Back on January 9th, Jackson was named a McDonald’s All-American nominee. And this coming Monday, Jackson will be presented with an official All American nominee letter.
Jackson is averaging 27.9 points per game, which is second in the state in scoring in Class 5A and fourth in the state in all classifications.
The All-American nominee presentation for Jackson will take place at the McDonald’s on Court Street in Seguin. The Matador basketball team and coaches will be at the presentation which is scheduled to take place at 5:15 p.m. this coming Monday afternoon.
And while Jackson was achieving a milestone on the boys’ court on Tuesday, Lady Matador senior Desiree Zuniga achieved one of her own. Zuniga established a new school record for most three-pointers in a regular season. Zuniga drained four three-pointers against Pieper giving her 89 three-point shots made on the season, more than any other Lady Matador in school history.
Zuniga is averaging a Steph Curry like three-plus three pointers per game in 29 games. She leads Seguin in scoring this season at 10.8 points per contest.
Both Zuniga and Jackson return to the court tomorrow to add to their scoring records. The Lady Mats will be at Smithson Valley, while the Matador boys host the Rangers. We will have the boys game on KWED Friday night. Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m. from Goldie Harris Gym on AM 1580 and streaming at SeguinToday.com.
