They say “a picture is worth a thousand words”, so a photo of the outstanding golfer St. Jaden Soong and 7-foot-tall classmate Cherif Millog’s Francis could one day be worth thousands of dollars.
Soong, a sophomore, won the CIF state golf championship as a freshman. There is no doubt that he is destined to be on the PGA Tour.

Millogo, a junior, is a rising basketball prospect. USC just offered him a scholarship.
Millogo played soccer, so there’s no doubt that Soong could teach him to play golf—if he could find clubs long enough for him.
Basketball coach Todd Wolfson, who is 6-8, might lend him his.
“One day I aspire to be as tall as Cherif and as good at golf as Jaden,” Wolfson said.
Soong is currently playing junior tournaments and likely won’t join his high school team until March.
