In a much anticipated showdown of a Duke commitment Taylor King, and a Duke prospect, Greg Monroe, King came out the winner, but not before a furious comeback effort.

Mater Dei High School built a 15 point halftime led behind the red hot shooting of Duke bound Taylor King, who had 20 points on 8 of 12 shooting in the first half.

King was slowed by junior Justin Fariman, who held him to 3 of 11 shooting in the second half. King ended with 28 points and a game high 13 rebounds. 

A Greg Monroe block the of a Taylor King fade away sparked a 7 point run for Helen Cox of Lousiana.

Monroe in action!

Helen Cox took a one point lead with three minutes left in the game on free-throws.  Dei's Kamyron Brown (16 points) then converted a three point play and then made the steal for an easy basket which sealed the win. 

Monroe is the top prospect in his class.
