High School Football Season Heats Up in Linden, California

Linden, California – Aaron Judge, known for his impressive feats in baseball, is also a well-rounded athlete with standout performances in multiple sports during his high school days. Before he became a household name in Major League Baseball (MLB), Judge dazzled crowds at Linden High School as he excelled in baseball, football, and basketball.

Judge, standing at an impressive 6-foot-7, had a fantastic senior year. On the basketball court, he achieved a double-double, showcasing his scoring and rebounding skills. He netted an average of 17 points per game while also contributing significantly on the football field with 17 touchdowns in a single season. His performance on the baseball diamond was equally remarkable, as he boasted a batting average of .500 and excelled as a pitcher, finishing with a 0.65 ERA and a record of 9-3.

Judge’s athletic abilities caught the attention of his peers, including professional football star Davante Adams. The two attended Fresno State at the same time, where Adams attempted to persuade Judge to join the football and basketball teams, referring to him as a player like Blake Griffin. Adams said he pushed hard to get Judge on the basketball court or the football field, but Judge always opted for the batting cages. In hindsight, Adams noted that Judge’s decision to focus on baseball was the right path.

Now as a formidable player in the MLB, Judge is just four wins away from helping the New York Yankees clinch their 28th championship title, further solidifying his status as one of the best baseball players of his generation. As he prepares for his first at-bats in the World Series tonight, fans are eager to see what this former high school star will accomplish as he continues to make history.
