Villanova-bound Tyrone Johnson of Plainfield, N.J., scored 21 points to lead No. 1 Montrose Christian over No. 2 Oak Hill Academy, 71-64 in double-overtime, in the championship game at Georgetown Prep in Bethesda, Md.
Montrose won the earlier matchup this season, 70-62, in double-OT.
Duke-bound point guard Quinn Cook scored 25 points for Oak Hill before fouling out in his last high school game. It was his fourth game in four days because he played in the McDonald’s All-American Game Wednesday.
Marylound-bound junior Justin Anderson drained a game-tying 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left in the first overtime period after Montrose trailed 62-59.
Findlay Prep, winner of the event during the first two years, was upset in the quarterfinals by Brooklyn Boys & Girls. Oak Hill lost the 2009 final to Findlay when Texas commit Avery Bradley scored 20 points.
