First Dragon Ever Selected to Participate
LeBron James was one. Candace Parker was one. And now Oderah Chidom ’13 is one.
It was announced on ESPNU on Feb. 14 that Chidom has been selected to participate in the McDonald’s All American Games, featuring the best high school boys and girls basketball players in the country. The games are set for Wednesday, April 3, at Chicago’s United Center. The girl’s game begins at 6 p.m. (central time), while the boys tip off at 8:30 p.m. (central time).
Chidom is the first Dragon – male or female – to have been selected as a McDonald’s All American. More than 800 players from 39 states and the District of Columbia were nominated for the 2013 McDonald’s All American Games.
“I feel extremely honored. To be the first player to represent O’Dowd’s nationally known high school athletic program is amazing,” Chidom said.

SALIDA — Want to know one of the differences between a good basketball player and a great one?
A good player will beat you on the court. A great player beats you on the court and in your head.
There’s no question Bishop O’Dowd sophomore forward Ivan Rabb falls into that latter category, as he proved in his team’s 71-62 victory at Modesto Christian on Saturday night.
Rabb had his usual numbers — 22 points, 16 rebounds, nine blocked shots — but his presence on the floor, particularly at the defensive end, was the deciding factor.
