Go Figure, Part II:
Exavier Johnson needs to finish strong in the classroom this semester in order to complete all of his core classes and become eligible for college, but the SAT Test isn't a problem.
Ex took the test in June of 2007 and scored over 1,500 out of 2,400. He got a 1,030 combined on his math and verbal scores. That's more than enough to qualify and ranks as one of the top scores on the team.
Said his mom Cecilia, ``After all those test prep book I bought him, he better do well.''
Cecilia even sweetened the deal. If Ex studied and did well, she promised to buy him a new pair of shoes. Judging from the 15 or so pairs of shoes I've seen him wearing before and after practice this year, I'd say he hit the books pretty hard.
``Is he in Imelda Marcos territory,'' I asked Cece, who is Filipino.
``Not quite,'' she said. ``But he's close.''
