ARCHBALD &ndash; The Red decided the outcome of Tuesday night&rsquo;s Lackawanna League Boys&rsquo; Basketball All-Star Game by controlling play in the second and third quarters.
That left the fourth quarter for showtime.
Scranton&rsquo;s Malik Draper excelled in both parts of the game, earning Most Valuable Player honors for the Red in a 100-72 rout of the Blue.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a game to have fun,&rdquo; Draper said. &ldquo;I tried to have as much as I could.&rdquo;
Draper had fun on a dunk with 40 seconds left to get the Red to the century mark. He also led all players with 20 points and joined Montrose&rsquo;s Tom Lewis in leading the team with nine rebounds and four steals each.
&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t usually get a chance to play with other players from other teams,&rdquo; said Draper, who is headed to Ursinus College to continue his basketball career. &ldquo;It was my last high school game. I wanted to make it memorable.&rdquo;
Honesdale&rsquo;s Jordan Meyer was the star of the fourth quarter when he scored 11 of his 18 points. He locked up Blue MVP honors as much for the way he scored as the number of points he managed.
Meyer soared above for the rest of the players for four dunks &ndash; two windmill slams on baseline moves, one to complete an alley-oop from Blue Ridge&rsquo;s Alex Cardoza and one when the Red defense gave him enough room to throw the ball off the backboard to himself.
&ldquo;I played with him in AAU,&rdquo; Draper said. &ldquo;I knew he could dunk like that.&rdquo;
Lackawanna Trail&rsquo;s Stephen Miller, who finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and four blocked shots for the Blue, also had a dunk in the fourth quarter.
Terry Turner, Draper&rsquo;s Scranton teammate, added 16 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals in the Red win.
Lewis chipped in 12 points and Lakeland&rsquo;s Alex Filarsky had 11.
Miller helped the Red take an 18-9 lead in the first 4:15 when he hit his first three shots. He scored seven points and blocked three shots.
Dunmore&rsquo;s Jordan Dempsey hit two 3-pointers in the second quarter when the Red used a 23-16 advantage to take a 49-43 halftime lead.
Draper, Turner, and Riverside&rsquo;s Jerry Kincel had six points each in the third when the Red pushed the lead to 77-55.
Scranton&rsquo;s Tony Battaglia coached the Red and Lackawanna Trail&rsquo;s Andrew Kettel coached the Blue.
Delaware Valley&rsquo;s Brandon Angradi won the 3-Point Shooting Contest, beating Dempsey in the final.
