**********Women’s Game**********
West 87, East 66
Jadyn Murray from Northwest Guilford High School with 11 points and 8 rebounds for the West women…Murray picked up three quick fouls in the first quarter, and she had to sit down…But, when Murray got back up, she went to work and she had a very solid game with her 11/8 outing, in 18 minutes….Murray headed to Johns Hopkins University in the Fall…
Mariah Frazier, from Dudley High School, with two points, four rebounds and four assists for the West women…Frazier, a guard, jumped center for the West on the opening jump ball, to begin the game…She did this pretty much throughout her high school basketball career…Frazier, one of the top defensive players in the state of North Carolina, is already enrolled at Appalachian State University, and she has basketball practice with the Mountaineers, at 8am on Tuesday morning…Frazier was headed back to Boone tonight…..
Our other Guilford County rep in the game, Diamond Monroe, from Dudley High School, injured her knee and only saw one minute of action in the game….Lydia Stucker, from Western Alamance High School, also injured her knee, and she was lost for the West, after seeing just five minutes of action….
(We have post-game interviews with Murray and Frazier, coming your way soon)…

**********Men’s Game**********
East 116, West 92
Daniel Cooper, from Grimsley High School, had an excellent game for the West men…Cooper scored 20 points for the West men, with Cooper hitting for seven first half points, and then he came right back and scored thirteen points in the second half…Cooper tied Chris Ford for team-high scoring honors, with his 20 points…Cooper added 12 rebounds to his 20 points, and Daniel Cooper goes for a Double/Double, with his 20 points, and 12 boards/rebounds(Making the Whirlies proud)….Cooper exceeded all expectations, but those were the expectations of the fans, and not those of Daniel Cooper…He knew he could do it, and he went out and did it…In a game like this one, and such is the case in all All-Star games to a certain degree, you have to find and create your shot…Once a teammate gets the ball, it is usually me to the basket first and pass later…If you get a chance to take a shot you better take, and you better make, you have to make the most of your opportunities, and Daniel Cooper did exactly that…He shot 7-12 from the field, and he went 6-9, from the free throw line…
(Post-game interview with Daniel Cooper coming soon.)
Here is the line on Men’s Game MVP Terquavion Smith from the East….12-24 2-5 30 points…Smith had one follow jam that he did with his left hand, and that slam was out-of-this-world…Breon Pass, from Reidsville HS, and Smith’s future teammate at N.C. State, Pass had 13 points for the West….
A key note from the early stages of the game…The East opened the game on a 20-0 run in the first 4:40 of the game.
