Incoming Duke basketball sharpshooter Darren Harris delivered a 19-point third quarter for his Paul VI Catholic (Va.) squad in Indiana on Thursday afternoon.
Darren Harris is built for the big stage, as he displayed again in his No. 2 seed Paul VI Catholic squad's 101-89 quarterfinal win over No. 7 seed IMG Academy at the Chipotle Nationals in Indiana on Thursday afternoon. The future Duke basketball wing finished with a game-high 36 points in his 30 minutes on the floor. He added seven rebounds and three assists.And over half of his points — 19, to be exact — came in the third quarter alone.
In other words, the heralded sharpshooter, winner of multiple 3-point contests as a prep, sizzled against elite competition and could be ready to contribute for the Blue Devils immediately next season, albeit likely in a reserve role.As for Paul VI Catholic's other 2024 Duke basketball signee, five-star center Patrick Ngongba II, a 6-foot-11, 235-pound five-star boasting a No. 23 composite ranking, saw his first action since undergoing foot surgery in November.
At 2:30 p.m. ET Friday , Harris, Ngongba, and the Panthers face the winner of Thursday night's quarterfinal matchup between No. 3 seed Prolific Prep and No. 6 seed Link Academy . Meanwhile, the Blue Devils' top-ranked 2024 recruiting prize, five-star forward Cooper Flagg, is gearing up to lead No. 1 seed Montverde Academy against No. 8 seed Compass Prep in their Chipotle Nationals opener at 8 p.m. Thursday .Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of FanNation's Blue Devil Country and All Tar Heels, covering the Duke Blue Devils and UNC Tar Heels on SI.com.
