Uncommitted senior guard Archie Goodwin scored a game-high 23 points Sunday night to lead the USA Midwest team over Canada, 99-94, in the Nike Global Challenge in Hillsboro, Ore.
Canada led 57-55 at the half, but Team Midwest outscored them 44-37 in the second half.
“It feels great to win the Global Challenge, especially after everyone was doubting us,” Goodwin, who was named to the USA All-Tournament team, said by text. “We just stuck to what our coach [Gary DeCesare] told us to do and we were successful.”
Jarnell Stokes added 13 points and eight rebounds for Team Midwest, North Carolina pledge Marcus Paige scored 11 and Tony Parker and Terry Rozier tallied 10 apiece.
For Canada, uncommitted senior Anthony Bennett tallied 20 points and seven rebounds, 2014 star Andrew Wiggins put up 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists and Xavier pledge Sim Bhullar had 16 points and 12 boards. St. Benedict’s Prep point guard Tyler Ennis added 13 points.
Wiggins, who will attend Huntington (W.V.) Prep this season, was named MVP of the International All-Tournament Team.
