Rawle attended Christ the King High School in Queens for three years. He started making an impact right away as a freshman.
"He was so good, and when he got here we had the best team," Christ the King coach Joe Arbitello said. "But he was OK with coming off the bench as a freshman. He scored 17 in the state championship to win it and after that point, he was the guy."
The winning didn't stop there. Rawle led his school to a number of championships during his three years there.
"We won three city titles with him and two state championships," Arbitello said.
