Top Dunks and Scoring

Well this will be my top dunks of the year and the top scorers that I saw. I will do a state recap in the coming days.

Top Dunks 
1. Marlon Ruffin 6'4 senior Sun Prairie vs Madison La Follette February 22
This dunk I really thought Ruffin would just lay in. He chased down a loose ball side by side with a La Follette defender and I believe the La Follette defender thought he would lay it in as well. Needless to say Ruffin through it down hard in the defenders face as the defender wound up laying on his stomach on the ground and all he could do was just smile.

2. Anthony Washington 6'3 sophomore Madison East vs Waunakee March 8
This dunk pretty much sealed a sectional semi final game. East had spread the floor with the five out and Washington took advantage driving past the 6'6 Nate Carter and the lane opened up for a monster two handed jam. I thought he might rip down the entire back board as the entire thing shook to the ceiling.

3. Trej Holloman 6'2 8th grader Minneapolis North vs Kaukauna January 27
Questionable if he actually finished the dunk but, that ball went in the hoop and his hand was on the rim. On a break away I thought we was just gonna lay it in but, I could see he was gathering himself to jump and 6'8 Kaukauna senior Dylan Kurey was trailing. Kurey went up to block the shot and ended up getting posterized by Holloman.

4. Prince Aligbe 6'5 8th grader Minnehaha Academy vs Stevens Point January 27
In a two point game with under three minutes left Minnehaha star Jalen Suggs drove a threw up the lay up which went long and Aligbe caught it and threw down the monster put back dunk to give them a four point leave. After the dunk Aligbe let out a Garnett type growl.

5. Marlon Ruffin 6'4 senior Sun Prairie vs Madison Memorial February 8
This dunk was all about the momentum. In a very tight game Ruffin got the ball on the break with a trailing 6'6 sophomore Yacouba Traore Jr who made the mistake of trying to block the shot. Ruffin had the powerful one handed dunk and the foul on Traoroe. After some chawing from both sides led to a double technical and another on the Memorial bench, Ruffin sank all three free throws leading to a five point play.

6. Patrick Cartier 6'7 senior Brookfield East vs Homestead February 10
This was more about the play but, Cartier tipped the ball away on defense tracked it down and got free with a behind the back dribble and fnished it off with the powerful one handed dunk.

7. Prince Aligbe 6'5 8th grader Minnehaha Academy vs Stevens Point January 27
Within the first five minutes of the game Aligbe grabbed the offensive rebound and in one quick move went right back up and threw down the dunk and left everyone in aw right off the bat.

8. Jalen Johnson 6'8 sophomore Sun Prairie vs Bay Port February 17
Yes this was a breakaway but, you don't see a lot of windmill for in game dunks.

9. Terrence Thompson 6'7 sophomore La Crosse Central vs Stoughton January 30
I'm always partial to put back dunks and this one almost happened to quick to enjoy. Johnny Davis drove the lane and threw up a lay up that came off very hard but, Thompson was there for a very quick put back dunk as no one blocked him out. It was hard with authority and at a time when Stoughton was making a run.

10. Jalen Johnson 6'8 sophomore Sun Prairie vs Brookfield East March 16
Johnson grabbed the offensive rebound went the length of the court and the East defense parted and Johnson went to the hoop throwing down the monster one handed dunk.
