25-year-old Sidney Bouvier Gilstrap-Portley decided one day that he wanted to go back to high school and relive his glory days as a basketball player.

So he enrolled at Hillcrest High School in Dallas, Texas as Rashun Richardson after learning the school was accepting Hurricane Harvey victims.

Gilstrap-Portley saw this as an opportunity to dust off his sneakers and hit the hardwood like it was 2011. As a star player on the school’s basketball team, he dominated younger athletes and was named the district’s offensive player of the year, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Gilstrap-Portley lived a double life as a teenager for nine months — even dating a 14-year-old — just so he could play high school basketball again, school officials said.
