Middlebrooks denies report Kobe Paras has ‘SAT scoring issue

KOBE Paras’ transfer to another NCAA Division 1 school is expected to go smoothly, as Middlebrooks Academy denied reports the Filipino player has an ‘SAT issue’ with UCLA.

In a statement entitled ‘Kobe Paras & UCLA: The Facts,’ Middlebrooks denied a Los Angeles Times report quoting Cathedral High School principal John Montgomery as saying that “there was a SAT scoring issue” with the Filipino cager.

“It was reported in the Los Angeles Times that the Cathedral High School Principal made a statement that ‘there was a SAT scoring issue.’ The challenge is readers do not know that this small 6-word statement was in reality made as part of a larger statement and unfortunately many people have construed this statement to mean something it does not.

“For the record, Kobe Paras has a SAT score and that SAT score has been used as part of the process to evaluate his academic eligibility through the NCAA Eligibility Center, which has ultimately deemed Kobe Paras a full academic qualifier,” said Middlebrooks in the statement.

Middlebrooks also noted the Filipino teen sensation’s academic achievements at Cathedral.

“Kobe Paras is a high school chemistry Star Scholar award winner, Physics and Calculus award winner, an inductee of the California Scholarship Federation (a high school honor society founded in 1916), a multiple semester Honor Roll student and graduated from Cathedral High School with honors.”
