This week's edition of The High School Highlight takes us to The Mountain, South Mountain.
The Jaguars are having their best start to a season since the 90's. They are 3-0 going in to tonight's game against the Alhambra Lions.
South has always relied on speed. This year is no different with senior wide receiver Jacori Murphy, who runs a 4.6 40 yard dash. He has used that speed to help him catch 14 passes for 177 yards through 3 games thus far.
Murphy does more then just lead the team in receiving. He also plays basketball and runs track. But what is most impressive is his 3.04 GPA.
Murphy says he is motivated and focused on the field and that has been the reason for the fast turnaround at South Mountain.
Murphy wants to be a professional athlete. He also wants to get a scholarship and go to college.
One thing people don't know about Murphy is that he lost his father and godfather and dedicates every TD and long jump in track to their memory.
