It was Oct. 6, 2001, and the top two high school teams in the country were facing off at a packed Veterans Stadium in Long Beach, California, as Marcedes Lewis and No. 1-ranked Long Beach Poly were hosting Maurice Drew and second-ranked De La Salle, of Concord, California.
It was the first time the two UCLA-bound stars would face each other (Drew, who later became Jones-Drew, rushed for four touchdowns in the win), but it was the beginning of a 14-year journey together. Both were first-team All-Americans for the Bruins and both were drafted in 2006 by the Jacksonville Jaguars, for whom they earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors.
