Camarillo High School student Gabriela Jaquez has been selected from more than 760 nominees to follow in the footsteps of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, LeBron James and many more at the McDonalds All American Games.
She had her jersey dedicated today at the school, and told KCLU that it’s an honor to represent Camarillo later this month in Chicago.
"Being a local kid, I'm very happy that I have the support of my community," she said.
For 45 years, the McDonald’s All American Games have been a proving ground some of the nation’s best hoopers to show off their skills on the national stage.
And in 2022, a new generation is set to make their mark as the top 48 girls and boys high school basketball players are set to go head-to-head in Chicago on March 29.
