Contest !! Prize for first winning guess

[tornado]

The Peoria Journal Star had several stories today about the
HRM Track Meet.
One of the stories discusses East Peoria sophomore, Blair Wyman, who won the 200 meters, and finished 2nd in the 100 meters.

(the paper edition even has a picture of her.)

Question:
Name Blair's half brother, known for his basketball ability.
The first correct answer PM'ed to me will win a restaurant gift certificate.

PS--since Blair is only a sophomore, I really don't want to make a big deal of her personal life, so that's why I want to keep the answers by Private Message only

The "Page View Counter" shows that 25 people have already viewed this page, and therefore
have had a chance to read and guess the answer, and nobody has yet.
Could this be a tough question?

[Bravesguy]

I'll try-
Mark Vershaw?

I have absolutely no clue.
Can someone who has a paper copy of the PJ Star say what she looks like in the picture?

I am loking right at the photo of Blair on page D4 of the sports section.
She is a big girl for a sophomore, compared to many of the runner/sprinter girls who are pictured. Most of the others (Kayla Heal, Katelyn Bastert, etc.) are rather small or slender.
She is blond and pretty good looking.
I would say she resembles nobody that I can readily think of.

Closing in on 50 people viewing this page, and if nobody has the correct answer by later this afternoon, I will throw out some hints.
I have received two PM's with guesses, and neither was correct.

Maybe Matt Roth, but I doubt it as his parents live in Washington.

[mike radigan]

T, I sent you a pm with the correct answer.

After seven different incorrect guesses were submitted, I have received a correct answer (save for the error in spelling) from Mike Radigan.
Mike-please send me your address if you want the Avanti's certificate.


Just for fun, I will wait just a bit longer before revealing the correct answer, and let's see if anyone else knows.

As a hint....
Blair's famous relative is a basketball player from the Peoria area, who does not physically resemble Blair very closely.

Marcellus Sommerville

Roger Phegley (sp)???????????

---getting close---
one more hint and then I'll give the answer.
The half-brother shares the same mom and plays in the NBA.

[tornado]

I doubt you will need any more hints, but if you do, he is a Peoria kid who plays on the Clippers.

Congrats Mike!

Since you're happily retired, you probably need the free food more than those of us who are still gainfully employed!!
