Nike Hoop Summit selects Randle
McKinney resident Julius Randle, a Prestonwood Christian Academy senior, has been tabbed for the Nike Hoop Summit on Apr. 20 in Portland, Ore.
"Julius was obviously selected based on his ability to play basketball, but more importantly based on his character," said Chris Mayberry, Prestonwood head coach. "He has kept such a positive attitude dealing with the adversity of his injury and will continue to be selected for honors and awards because of his character."
Randle is no stranger to such competition, capturing a gold medal on Team USA at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship last summer.
Web Exclusive Hoops
Space constraints prevented the McKinney Boyd-Plano East basketball doubleheader from making the print edition, so go to starlocalnews.com for both stories.
Correction
In the Jan. 27 issue of the McKinney Courier-Gazette, it was written that the McKinney ISD swim teams will next compete in the Region II-5A meet in Keller. They will actually resume competition at the Region III-5A Championships at the Rockwall ISD Aquatic Center on Feb. 8-9.
We apologize for the error.
