Nike Hoop Summit selects Randle
Prestonwood Christian Academy senior Julius Randle 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.

Figueroa returns to cage
For the second straight year, West Plano Crossfit-trained mixed martial artist Edwin Figueroa will be on the UFC's Super Bowl weekend card.
Figueroa returns to action for the first time in a year on Feb. 2 when he meets Francisco Rivera at UFC 156 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
A McKinney native, Figueroa competed just once in 2012 -- a split-decision victory over Alex Caceres at UFC 143 during which Caceres was penalized two points for kicks to the groin. The points proved decisive in the decision, with the win upping Figueroa to 2-1 in the UFC and 9-1 overall.
Figueroa was scheduled to fight in June at UFC on FX 4 against Ken Stone but was forced out due to injury.
Jones ranked No. 1 in North America
Plano native Seth Jones' march to become the first defenseman taken No. 1 in the NHL Entry Draft in seven years took another step Tuesday as he was named the No. 1 skater in North America in the 2013 midterm rankings by NHL Central Scouting.
Jones would be the first American-born player chosen No. 1 since Patrick Kane in 2007.
Jones plays for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League.
Jones is fifth among first-year WHL players with 28 points in 33 games. He also has a plus-29 rating. Jones has piled up the points in the past month as the 6-foot-3, 208-pounder tallied six assists and a goal in helping the United States win gold at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship.
The race for No. 1 is between Jones and Nathan MacKinnon (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League).

Olympic gold medalist McKayla Maroney will attend and do a meet and greet at the afterparty.
