Nike Hoop Summit selects Randle
McKinney resident Julius Randle, a Prestonwood Christian Academy alum, has been selected 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.”
The Nike Hoop Summit is one of the premier high school basketball showcases, pitting the country’s top seniors against a World Select Team.
Randle is no stranger to such competition, capturing a gold medal on Team USA at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship last summer.
