    Stanford commit Fran Belibi became the first girl to win the McDonald’s All-American Slam Dunk Contest since Candace Parker in 2004.

    Belibi jumped over another McDonald’s girls player and dunked with one hand to beat Florida-bound Scottie Lewis and uncommited Precious Achiuwa in the final. She was the only girl with six boys in the contest.

    Earlier she had a two-handed dunk off a pass off the backboard.

    The 6-5 Florida-bound Lewis came close with several impressive jams.

    The 6-9 Achiuwa, who is mulling UNC and Kansas among others, also reached the final.
