The country's best high school basketball players delivered.

In a highly competitive McDonald's All-American game, Prolific Prep's Darryn Peterson and Columbus High's Cameron Boozer, were named co-MVP of the prestigious game for the West and East teams, respectively.

Peterson, a Kansas commit, scored 18 points on 7 of 14 shooting with seven rebounds. Boozer, the Duke-bound forward and son of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, notched a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds.

Team West defeated Team East 105-92 live on ESPN Tuesday night. The victory snapped a three-game winning streak by East and marked the first win for the West since 2018 (due to the pandemic).

No. 1 recruit AJ Dybantsa (BYU) scored 17 points and Alijah Arenas (USC) tallied 11 points with two 3s for the West. (full box score at bottom of page)
