PENNSBURY:
Pepper named MVP at Donofrio Classic
Pennsbury senior Dalton Pepper (right of center) was honored with the MVP Award April 15 at the conclusion of the Albert C. Donofrio basketball tournament. Pepper scored 39 points in a semifinal win before surpassing that total with 45 points scored in the championship.
The tourney takes place every year at The Fellowship House in Conshohocken. Pepper was part of the Bucks County all-stars, a team that's guided by CR North teacher Jim Kenny and consists of a bunch of locals from Pennsbury, Council Rock North and CB South, among some other area schools.
Bucks made it all the way to the finals after defeating the Sonny Hill Juniors in the semis and the Old School Cavs in the quarters. The I-3 All-Stars captured the top prize in the tourney, defeating the Bucks boys, 106-90.
Pepper and Norristown's Khalif Wyatt were bestowed with MVP trophies. Wyatt was named the winner of the Tony Samartino MVP Award while Pepper won the Art Andre MVP Award.
Pennsbury senior Eddie Dirugeris took the Little Big Man Award and Friends Central junior forward Dominic Morris won the Sportsmanship Award.
In all, there were 12 players bound for Division I schools playing in this tourney. Pepper is going to West Virginia. Dirugeris is headed for Philadelphia University. Wyatt has committed to Temple University.
