Reporter Mike Sullivan has an updated profile on Blaise Ffrench ...

PLAYER PROFILE UPDATE: Blaise Ffrench

HEIGHT: 6-foot-1

WEIGHT: 185 Pounds

HIGH SCHOOL: Holy Cross High School in Flushing, New York

HIGH SCHOOL HEAD COACH: Paul Gilvary

CLASS: 2008, A Current Senior

POSITIONS: Point Guard/Shooting Guard

COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES OF INTEREST: Manhattan, Long Island University, UTEP, Quinnipiac, Stony Brook, and Akron

EVALUATION: Blaise's season continues as Holy Cross basks in winning the New York City "AA" CHSAA championship. Ffrench was a big reason why Paul Gilvary's team was able to defeat several high quality high school basketball programs in Rice and Christ The King High School to claim the title.

It was Blaise's clutch basket with five seconds left in the semifinal contest against Rice that lifted Holy Cross into the final against CTK.

Blaise will play division one basketball and this comes after trying to learn a new position -- point guard -- two seasons ago. He showed his deep basketball IQ by handling this extremely difficult and responsible position with maturity this season.
