Jaime Jaquez Jr. leads 21-3 Camarillo with 30-point performance

If Camarillo’s win over Santa Ana Mater Dei last weekend, coming back from an 18-point deficit, doesn’t convince you that the 21-3 Scorpions are for real, then go take a look at the Scorpions’ UCLA-bound senior, Jaime Jaquez.

Talk about versatility _ Jaquez can do it all. He scored 30 points and had five assists on Wednesday night to help the Scorpions defeat Oak Park 81-46 to improve to 7-0 in the Coast Canyon League. He made five threes.

Camarillo is ranked No. 1 in Southern Section 2-AA. The Scorpions struggled in the early going, falling behind 17-9 while trying to figure out Oak Park’s box-and-one defense. With Mark Bolo (16 points) and Andrew Wetter (14) making major contributions, the Scorpions began to roll, and dealing with Jaquez was no easy assignment the rest of the way.

Jack Zhao had 20 points and Clark Slajchert 18 for Oak Park.
