BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. — On Nov. 12, 2012, in a game against Faith Baptist Bible College, Jack Taylor connected with nearly every shot he took for Grinnell College, and he took a lot of them. In that game, Taylor went on to score 138 points, which was an NCAA record high that hasn't been broken since.

"The last couple minutes in the game, I noticed in the bleachers people were holding out their phones, and it turned out to be just a media frenzy after that," said Taylor, who made appearances on several national media programs including a live interview on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" talk show.

The dust eventually settled, and Taylor returned to his hometown of Black River Falls, Wisconsin (approximately two hours east of the Twin Cities) to raise his family alongside his wife, and took with him life-changing experiences from the record-breaking moment.
