High School basketball star actually 22!
As reported on the Herald-Sun website:
WEST Texas student who led his high school basketball team to the state playoffs last season was actually a 22-year-old man.
Ector County school district officials said the man posed as 16-year-old Jerry Joseph and enrolled at Permian High School in Odessa for the 2009-2010 academic year. He also presented himself as homeless to the school's basketball coach, Danny Wright, who took the boy in last summer, the coach said.
The revelation means Permian likely will have to forfeit the 2009 basketball season in which the 198cm player known as Jerry Joseph led the team to District 2-5A state playoffs and earned newcomer of the year accolades.
