John Jenkins

WHILE MANY HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS DON'T SCORE 40 POINTS IN A GAME, ONE PLAYER IS AVERAGING THAT MANY!

STATION CAMP SENIOR JOHN JENKINS THREATENING STATE SCORING MARKS.

BUT THIS BISON HAS MORE ON HIS MIND THAN RE-WRITING RECORD BOOKS.

FOX 17'S DAN PHILLIPS CATCHES UP WITH THE STATION CAMP SUPERSTAR!


JOHN JENKINS CAN SCORE FROM ANYWHERE ON THE FLOOR...HE HAS A DEAD-EYE FROM DEEP... SHOOTING 47-PERCENT FROM 3-POINT RANGE...

((Nat Sound: "John Jenkins for 3!!!"))

JENKINS IS MONEY FROM INSIDE THE ARC AS WELL...MAKING 62-PERCENT OF HIS SHOTS...AND YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT FOULING HIM...NUMBER-12 KNOCKS DOWN NEARLY 90-PERCENT OF HIS FREE THROWS...BUT THE STAT JOHN IS MOST PROUD OF? HIS TEAM'S WINNING RECORD...

((John Jenkins: "We don't get enough credit for that actually. If we were a one-man team we wouldn't be 16-5 put it that way. We might be 5-16 if we were a one-man team."))

BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE...MUCH OF STATION CAMP'S SUCCESS HINGES ON JENKINS.

((Seth Massey: "You'd be lucky to coach an entire career and have one player like that. And then to have a player that's as humble as he is. As team-centered, team-oriented as he is. As hard a worker, it's a blessing to have."))

NEXT YEAR - JENKINS WILL TAKE HIS GAME FROM THE STANDS AT MEMORIAL GYM TO THE FLOOR WHEN HE SUITS UP FOR VANDERBILT.

((Kevin Stallings says: "We're certainly looking forward to his arrival. John certainly is a guy that right now is showing himself to be a prolific scorer."))

SO PROLIFIC THAT HE HAS A CHANCE TO BREAK THE STATE SCORING RECORD.

CURRENT TEAMMATES ARE ENJOYING HIS PURSUIT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

((Michael Payne: "The things he can do with a basketball are just incredible. And just to watch some of the things you just kind of sit there and go 'Wow. How did he do that?"))

BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT - PUTTING THE BALL IN THE HOOP ISN'T JOHN'S TOP PRIORITY.

((John Jenkins: "I haven't won district or region, or been to sub-state or state. That's something I want to do, and hopefully I can do it my last year here."))

IF JENKINS CONTINUES AT HIS CURRENT PACE - THAT GOAL IS A SLAM DUNK.

IN GALLATIN, DAN PHILLIPS FOX 17 SPORTS.
