"They say "a picture is worth a thousand words," so the photo of St. Francis standout golfer Jaden Soong and 7-foot-4 classmate Cherif Millogo might one day be worth thousands of dollars. Soong, a sophomore, won the CIF state golf championship as a freshman. There's little doubt he's destined to be on the PGA Tour. Millogo, a junior, is a rising basketball prospect. USC just offered him a scholarship."
"Millogo used to play soccer, so there's little doubt Soong could teach him to play golf - if he could find clubs long enough for him. Basketball coach Todd Wolfson, who's 6-8, might be able to loan him his. "One day I wish to be as tall as Cherif and as good in golf as Jaden is," Wolfson said. Soong is playing in junior tournaments right now and probably won't join his high school team until March."
Jaden Soong, a sophomore at St. Francis, won the CIF state golf championship as a freshman and is considered likely to reach the PGA Tour. Cherif Millogo, a 7-foot-4 junior classmate, is a rising basketball prospect who recently received a scholarship offer from USC. Millogo formerly played soccer, and Soong could potentially teach him golf if appropriately sized clubs were available. Basketball coach Todd Wolfson, who is 6-8, suggested he might lend Millogo a club. Soong is currently competing in junior tournaments and is expected to join the high school team in March. The photo of the two students captures contrasting athletic talents.
