“Demarcus Surratt should be a Mr. Basketball candidate,” said Frederick Douglass (9-4) coach Murray Garvin. “Tonight he demonstrated it on one of the biggest stages in high school basketball.”
Surratt, the Bellarmine commit, erupted for 31 points in the 63-60 win over Bryan Station (11-5) on Tuesday night, hitting clutch shot after clutch shot, including the buzzer-beating three which sent the game to overtime.
“I just love my guys,” said Surratt. “I think our bond really brought us through that one.”
Even though Surratt led all scorers with 31, his teammates delivered invaluable contributions, including three blocks and steals each from Nate Coen and a 6-0 Tate Robinson run at the end of the first half to give the Broncos the lead.
