BIO: Aubrey Sherrod was born in Wichita, Kansas (USA), the youngest of 5 brothers; his father died when he was 2 years old.
Sherrod had a early growth spurt and in 2nd grade was already much taller than his peers: due to his height, his brother Avery invited him to join his team of 6th-graders.
He decided to attend Wichita Heights High School, and he entered the varsity basketball team in his sophomore year. Under coach Charles “Goose” Doughty, JR (1933–2013), who Sherrod considered a father figure, in his junior year he averaged 24 points per game. He was considered a good defender and a smooth shooter.
In his senior year at Wichita Heights he averaged 27.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, being ranked among the top 2 guards in the country together with Michael Jordan, and one of the top players overall.
During his high school career he was selected 3 times in the all-conference first team and scored 1,735 points, which ranked him second all-time in Wichita behind Greg Dreiling of Kapaun Mt.Carmel High School.
His senior year earned him a selection in the Parade All-America Second Team and he was named a McDonald’s All-American. In the 1981 McDonald’s game, which was played in his hometown of Wichita, he scored 19 points, shooting 7/14 from the field and 5/6 from the free throw line: he shared MVP honours with Adrian Branch.
He also played in another high school all-star game, the Capital Classic, where he wore jersey number 21 and was the top scorer with 20 points (9/13 from the field, 2/3 from the line), being named the game MVP.
