Daily News | Hannah Hidalgo sets scoring record, named co-MVP of McDonald’s All American girls’ game
It was hard to tell, but Hannah Hidalgo admits she was nervous ahead of the McDonald’s All American Game.
“I looked up at the clock, and I knew there was only a couple seconds left,” Hidalgo said. “[Jadyn Donovan] doesn’t know how much time is left on the clock, and she’s just bringing it up and I’m screaming, like, ‘Yo, yo give me the ball, give me the ball,’ because she had defenders on her. And then she looked and she saw me with nobody on me. … Honestly, I just jacked it up. I jacked it up, and I prayed it would go in.
Hidalgo’s buzzer-beater gave the East an 81-74 lead, but the West regrouped in the fourth quarter and went on a 13-0 run to reclaim the lead for good. The 110-102 finish was the highest scoring girls’ game in the history of the event, and Juju Watkins, who led the West with 25 points, five rebounds, and five steals, was the other MVP.
