Huntington Prep Academy basketball players stole the show at the 2010 Kentucky Derby Festival Classic over the weekend in Louisville, Ky.
The Black team, which was coached by Huntington Prep coach Rob Fulford, earned a 133-124 victory over the White team in the contest while seeing two Express players shine in doing so.
The man of the night was Huntington Prep's Gorgui Dieng, a 6-foot-11 center that has garnered much attention nationally as one of the top prospects not committed for the college Class of 2010.
Dieng earned game MVP honors with 15 points, nine rebounds and eight blocks.
For now, Dieng is still uncommitted with Louisville, Marshall, Colorado, Maryland and Marquette as his top five choices.
Dieng's performance certainly wasn't the only highlight for Huntington Prep.
Justin Coleman, a top 25 player who has verbally committed to play for Rick Pitino at Louisville, started his weekend by winning the dunk contest on Friday night at Knights Hall on the campus of Bellarmine University.
He followed up that victory with a 26-point effort in the Black team's victory.
The two Huntington Prep standouts accounted for 41 of the team's 133 points in the win.
