STOCKTON – CalHiSports.com, the leading authority on high schools sports in the Golden State, announced there may be a problem with the statistics from reigning state scoring champion Jaylene Hughes.

As a freshman at Mount Miguel last season, Hughes averaged 38.7 points per contest, including twice scoring an East County and Grossmont Conference record of 58 points.

Here is what CalHiSports recently posted on the possible problem:

There was another freshman — Jaylene Hughes of Spring Valley Mt. Miguel — who was reported on MaxPreps with a higher scoring average than Smith, but those totals have not been accepted for state record consideration due to questions we have about the stat-keeping. School officials there are more than welcome to give us a call at some point to clear them up. LINK

During the summer,Hughes transferred to Granite Hills and is currently going through a waiting period before becoming eligible.
