Oscar ("Ossie") Schectman was in the class of 1937 at Tilden High
School in Brooklyn. As you probably know, Schectman, also a graduate
of Long Island University, is reputed to have scored the first points
in NBA history, and was inducted into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame
in 1998.
Here are two links that document his Tilden High graduation (I found
none that suggests that he went to Jefferson High):
Public School Athletic League Alumni (alphabetical, about 7/8 down the page)

Basketball Reference: Oscar Schectman
http://www.basketballreference.com/players/playerpage.htm?ilkid=SCHECOS01
Additional Site:
Here is a site that references Schectman's induction into the Jewish
Sports Hall of Fame:
Jews in Sports: Ralph Kaplowitz (about 4/5 down the page)

Search Strategy:
I obtained only a few unhelpful references to Schectman with a simple
Google search for "ozzie schectman":
://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=%22ozzie+schectman%22
I concluded that this might be because I was using an incorrect
spelling of either the first or last name. Changing the search terms
as follows in the next two tries turned up the information I have
reported:
schectman nba school
://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=schectman+nba+school
schectman nba high school
://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=schectman+nba+%22high+school%22
I am confident that this is exactly the information you are seeking.
If anything is unclear, please ask for clarification before rating
this answer.
