Will former Rolling Hills Prep star Bennie Gealer be on a matzah box?


Jewish mothers are proud when their son or daughter succeeds in sports, but there is also the greatest honor of all: their child appearing on a matzah box.
Former Rolling Hills Prep guard Benny Gealer, a senior at Stanford who averaged 10.6 points this season, is a candidate for the L’Cheisman Trophy, sponsored by Manischewitz, which seeks to honor top Jewish college sports athletes.
Forget the $10,000 price tag. The prize most important to her mother’s mind is that the winner gets to appear on a limited edition cover of her matzah box.
The Gealer family is therefore all in.
Gealer was an All-CIF guard at Rolling Hills Prep who went to Stanford as a walk-on and is starting now.
