UPPER ROOM AND PURVIS

JOURDAN STICKLER

RODNEY PURVIS

 Annapolis High's Delaszo Smith proved to the folks from North Carolina that outstanding premier players exist in this region as well.

Smith totaled 37 points to out-duel Upper Room Christian Academy's Rodney Purvis' 31 as the Panthers defeated the guests from North Carolina 90-83 in boys basketball yesterday. It was the third of a series of six Students & Athletes vs. Substance Abuse Games of the Week.

Purvis, a senior, is listed as the No. 6 shooting guard in the ESPNU 100 college recruiting rankings and has already signed to play at North Carolina State next season.

Smith also added eight rebounds and three steals, while Jourdan Stickler added 25 points, five rebounds and four assists. Rashawn Maclin contributed 15 points, four rebounds and three steals for Annapolis, which rebounded from a 74-71 loss to Arundel on Friday night.
