TYREKE EVANS PROUD OF FELLOW CHESTER NATIVE RONDAE JEFFERSON

(Associated Press)
He might play professionally on the West Coast, but Tyreke Evans hasn't forgotten where he comes from.

Evans, a Chester native, began the week as Delaware County's most-recent selection to the McDonald's All-American Game. Chester High senior Rondae Jefferson changed that Thursday, when he was named to the high school all-star game in April.

A three-time All-Delco from American Christian Academy in Aston, Evans had nothing but praise for Jefferson, an Arizona commit who considers Evans a hero.

“I talked to him (Thursday) night. That's big. A big opportunity,” Evans said Friday, at Sacramento Kings shootaround. “I'm happy for him. It's a challenge to come from where he comes from and to get a chance to make that game – he's the second from Chester to do it – so I'm proud of him. I think he's going to be a great player.”
