Jewish mothers are proud when their son or daughter become successful in sports, but then there's the greatest honor of all: their child appearing on a matzah box.

Former Rolling Hills Prep guard Benny Gealer , a senior at Stanford averaging 10.6 points this season, is a candidate for the L'Cheisman trophy, sponsored by Manischewitz looking to honor the top Jewish college sports athletes.

Forget the $10,000 prize money. The most important reward in the mind of his mother is that the winner gets to appear on a limited-edition cover of its matzah box.

So the Gealer family is all in.

Gealer was an All-CIF guard at Rolling Hills Prep who went to Stanford as a walk-on and is now starting.
