After he helped lead Montverde Academy to a national title at Chipotle Nationals on Saturday afternoon, Duke signee Cooper Flagg was named the MVP of the boys’ tournament.
Flagg, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2024 and the face of Duke’s vaunted recruiting class, scored 16 points and added eight rebounds and six blocks in the title game victory over Paul VI Catholic.
Flagg also dropped 28 points in the semifinal win over Columbus and 16 points in the quarterfinal game against AZ Compass Prep to end the three-game run with an average of 20 points per game.
Darren Harris, another future Blue Devil who led runner-up Paul VI, also made the five-player all-tournament squad. Harris broke through with a 36-point performance against IMG Academy in the quarterfinals.
