16 again- Texas HS Basketball player really 22
Guerdwich Montimere first played high school basketball in Florida. From AP-
Police say a West Texas student who led his high school basketball team to the state playoffs last season was actually a 22-year-old man.
Police say the basketball star was really Guerdwich Montimere, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Haiti. School officials say he was recognized last month by Florida coaches as having once been a high school player in Fort Lauderdale.
Ector County school district officials say the man posed as 16-year-old Jerry Joseph and enrolled at Permian High School in Odessa.
The school’s basketball coach, Danny Wright, says he even let the boy live with him.
Montimere was arrested Tuesday and booked on a charge of presenting false identification to a peace officer.
A few years ago there was a 30-year-old playing high school soccer or here in Florida. BTW when I when I went to Deerfield Beach HS, we were in the same district as Dillard the Florida school that Montimere first attended.
