Twenty years ago, the Jets (or Los Jets) of Jordan-Matthews High School in Siler City won the North Carolina 1-A men’s high school soccer championship, becoming the first predominantly Latino team to win a statewide North Carolina high school championship in any sport.

The path to the championship was fraught: from the resistance organizers faced getting the team started, to the racist taunts the teenage players faced once they finally got on the field. But win, they did.

Paul Cuadros was the coach of that championship team and still coaches the Jets today. He and former player Octavio Hernandez talk to co-host Leoneda Inge about the challenges many Jets faced as immigrants and the legacy of their championship team today.
