Cooper Flagg, Montverde win Chipotle Nationals title

Flagg, the No. 1 overall recruit in the class, helped Montverde Academy defeat Paul VI Catholic and some future teammates in the Chipotle Nationals title game on Saturday.

Duke signee Cooper Flagg and Montverde Academy won the Chipotle Nationals title on Saturday afternoon, defeating Paul VI Catholic 79-63 in the championship game.

Flagg, the top recruit in the Class of 2024, scored 16 points in the final game after he made six of his nine field-goal attempts. He made two 3-pointers, came down with eight rebounds, and rejected six blocks in 31 minutes of playing time.

The win caps off an undefeated 33-0 season for the Florida powerhouse.

Flagg defeated two future teammates on Paul VI’s side. Four-star recruits Darren Harris (16 points, three rebounds, three assists) and Patrick Ngongba (11 points, four rebounds, three assists) will both join Flagg in Durham as part of Duke’s top-ranked 2024 recruiting class.

Montverde also took down Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the twin sons of former Duke star Carlos Boozer and five-star 2025 prospects, in the semifinals.
