It was a surprise, Davis said pf the MVP honor. I didnt expect it. I felt good about the way I played, but I could have played better.<\/p>\n
Freedom's Lin Lattimore (right) fakes his defender and starts his drive to the basket in the 1995 NCCA East-West All-Star Game for men's basketball.<\/p>\n
Likewise, Lattimore was also surprised by his production in the boys game. Unfortunately, his surprise was as a result of the fact he did not manage to score or grab a rebound in 12 minutes of play.<\/p>\n
I couldnt get it going, said the Northwestern 4A Conference co-player of the year, who led Freedom at 19 ppg and 8.5 rpg last season. Im sort of disappointed I didnt get the ball more than I did. I was asking for it, but it didnt come my way. I had fun though.<\/p>\n
Davis is headed to UNC to play next season, and among those watching the game was Lady Tar Heel coach Sylvia Hatchell. Lattimore, who like Davis played on a FHS state title, is headed to Northeastern.<\/p>\n
The boys game also included Antawn Jamison (UNC), Terrell McIntyre (Clemson) and Tyrone Outlaw.<\/p>\n
