Luguentz Dort leaked out with a full head of steam and finished a left-handed layup, the go-ahead bucket in The Conrad Academy’s 49-47 win over Tech Academy in Kentucky.
In a memorable matchup, the oft-slashing 6-foot-3 215-pound guard barreled to the rim throughout, bullying his way to 24 points and Game MVP honors. Dort, as potent and multi-layered an athlete as there is on this level, turned in several hard drives and thunderous dunks along the baseline during a dizzying second half.
A bit on the demure side (both on the court and off it), Dort even exchanged hostilities with Tech Academy’s 6-11 Matur Makar. The two were separated at one point, heightening the battle between two of Canada’s elite during Grind Session’s Mustang Madness in Paducah, Ky.
