Eighth-grader Jaden Newman makes 17 3-pointers in a 70-point game to tie national record

When you think 3-point shooting prowess, you probably think of Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson or Jayson Tatum. Time to add Jaden Newman to the list. The 13-year-old basketball prodigy and star guard at Downey Christian (Orlando, Florida) made 17 of her 24 attempts from beyond the arc on Tuesday to tie a national high school record.

And that's not all.

On top of her astounding 70.83 percent 3-point shooting percentage, the eighth-grader dropped 70 points in her team's 115-31 victory over Discovery High School (Alfred, Florida). That's right, people -- 70 POINTS. The 5-foot-1 sharpshooter knew it was going to be a special game from the opening minutes.
