During his college playing days, Towns guided the basketball team of St. Joseph High School to a state championship in 2012, which resulted in him making it to the top position in the ESPN 25 national ranking of high school players. During January of 2013, Towns went on to record a quadruple-double with as many as 16 points, 17 rebounds, 11 blocks and 11 assists, post which he managed to record another quadruple-double.
