A four-year first team all-starter, while at Claflin High School Jackie recorded the most career points in Kansas history for boys and girls, and is ranked 10th nationally among female high school players, putting up 3,603 points.

Jackie was drafted by the WNBA's Portland Fire in 2001, she was named the WNBA Rookie of the year and selected to the All-Star team, all during her first season in the league. After having two successful seasons with Portland, Stiles was drafted by the Los Angles Sparks in 2002 when the Fire folded.

Jackie has been sidelined due to injury, but is definitely ready to come back and add some style to the game. She has been staying busy with numerous basketball camps throughout the United States.
