Jean Prophete's measurements and methods make him an anomaly in high school basketball.
He uses his 6-foot-4, 260-pound bulk to facilitate his old-school approach to scoring, yet he is surprisingly quick. He can muscle his way into the post and loft hook shots with ease, but also has the ability to drift out and hit fade-aways from 15 feet.
In his junior season at Summit Christian, Prophete averaged 15.8 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He also was one of the area's most efficient offensive players, thanks to his stunning 58 percent shooting from the field.
"There's not a lot of Jeans out there," Saints coach Murray Smith said.
"He's rare."
Prophete posted impressive numbers despite limited playing time. Smith said he rested his star for the second half of 10 to 12 games this season and believes Prophete could have led the area in scoring if he had played more.
Prophete also adapted to the emergence of teammates Brice Jenkins and Farad Cobb as major scoring threats and gladly allowed them to take on some of the offensive load.
"I don't think the stats mean anything," Prophete said. "I have kids on my team that can score that I dish the ball out to. As long as we're winning, I don't care."
The Saints did plenty of that this season. They went 27-4, had a winning streak of 20 in a row and reached the state final four for the second consecutive year.
The season ended with a disappointing loss to Jacksonville-Arlington Country Day in the state semifinals, but that loss already is driving Prophete as he turns his attention to his senior year.
"That's my motivation," he said. "My main goal is to get that ring."

With Brandon Ganesh's stat's, I don't see why he was not on first team.Maybe his correct stat's were not sent in. He is one of the best point guard in Palm Beach County.

some of these selections are not right, kids made it that should not of while others who were not honorees should be on here. there are plenty more that should of made it that are not listed. there needs to be a closer look at the stats of others before these selections are made.

I am mixed with white and black so I have really really thick curly hair. I have never used any product that does as much as this one. I blow dry my hair until it's just damp and then put a ton of this
cream on it and it loosens my curls and they stay soft and without frizz all day long! I love this product so much, the only thing that sucks is how fast i go through it. I would recommend this product to
anyone with curls!! I would be happy to answer any questions about it!

I use this for a looser curl and it works well. I like Moroccan Oil products and this is a solid one. It hasn't been life changing and I haven't used it
alone to really see what it does but it works well with the David Babaii Bohemian Beach Spray for nice loose curl.

I have been using
a Chi straightener for most of my life and I thought it was the best. This past Christmas I bought this straightener for my mom. I used it all month and the difference is amazing. I don't know if it's
because of the titanium plates or the degree to which it heats, but it straightens the hair in one pass through and leaves it SO SHINY. My hair stays straight longer after using this, too. I love it and have
made the switch to babyliss!

After having used a $20
straightener just to see if I'd actually use one if I had it, I finally stopped wanting to fry my hair, and decided to upgrade. I picked this one out because of the long titanium plates, and because I'd
heard an alarming amount of bad things about the Chi flat irons. I have been so happy with this straightener. My hair is super straight, smooth, and shiny. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair since
using it. It's glides right through my thick, stubborn, wavy hair. One stroke usually gets it perfect, some extremely stubborn parts take two. It's so easy and fast to use. I've got so much hair (a
hairdresser once called me "Mufasa", if that's any indication), and I'm done in about 15 minutes.

I have to say this stuff dries and holds the curls in place for great curl
definition. I dont like that my curls were rather dry though. I'd say you must must must use the oil or some sort of moisturizer w/this product if you have thick (curly hair: type 3C) hair like mine.

I am an African American woman with naturally kinky/coarse hair. I decided to stop using relaxers over a year ago, furthermore straightening my hair became a difficult task. I could never seem to get the
results I was looking for out of a flat iron without going to a professional hair salon and spending $65.00 a visit.
induction cooktop commented on April 29, 2012 at 12:29 a.m.: report abuse
I first tried this product when visiting in Portland and mistakenly assumed this product left my hair so nice-to-the-touch because the Oregon water was so soft. Not so. Using it in my own hometown, I
have had the same results -- soft, natural curls. Too many styling products on the market leave hair stiff and crinkly. Moroccan Oil Intense Curl Cream is well worth the cost. Be advised that only a
dime-size amount is necessary to great results

My stylist recommended this product for my medium to long hair that tends to have some wave and frizz. I
have never had a flat iron, but I can successfully get the smooth, straight look I want in 7 minutes, and my hair is pretty thick. The iron heats up in one minute, and is easy to use because of its slim
design. I would recommend not starting at anything beyond the 35-40 setting to start with or you may really damage your hair. Other than that, this is a great purchase and I'm happy to have it!

I have had such trouble finding a product for my wavy/curly hair. I have tried everything, and
while some products worked fine, Moroccan Oil is the best. It works in all climates, which is great for me since I travel a lot. I live mostly in a humid costal climate, and my hair doesn't frizz ar fall
flat since I started using this product. I love it!

There are actually quite a lot of particulars like that to take into consideration. That is a nice point to bring up. I provide the ideas above as general inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you bring up the place an important factor will be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged around issues like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly recognized as a good game.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However imagine if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this site could certainly be one of the greatest in its field. Fantastic blog!
