Anderson, who suffers from Erb's Palsy and has virtually no use of his right arm, is averaging more than 19 points and 8 rebounds per game for Florida High, a teaching high school for Florida St. University, and hopes to play Division I hoops in college.

"I like when people come harder at me than they come at another player," he told the AP. "I like challenges." The junior's next challenge: nabbing a college hoops scholarship.
