On this episode of the podcast, I have Nate Jackson of Mt. Carmel High School and we discuss his season running the System.

After a three-year hiatus from coaching, Nate became the head girls basketball coach this year at Mt. Carmel High School in San Diego. The Mt. Carmel Sundevils have traditionally been one of the more prestigious girls basketball programs in San Diego with 7 CIF Championships. However, the last 6 years saw losing seasons for Mt. Carmel, dropping them from an Open Division team to the brink of Division 3. Nate came in this year (2021-22) and installed his version of The System and led the Sundevils to a 22-8 season where they set several all-time San Diego Girls Basketball Records and were nationally ranked in several statistical categories (see below).

• Most ever 3pt FGA in a Season (1526)
• Most ever 3pt FGA in a Game (89) (Previous record was 55 by Nate’s Maranatha team in 2018)
• Most ever 3pt FGM in a Game (23) (2nd All-Time in California State History)
• 3rd all-time most 3pt FGM in a season (335)
• (9th All-Time in California State History)
• 1 of 5 teams in San Diego History to ever make over 300 Three’s in a season)
• Most Forced Turnovers in a game in California history (58)
