Peeler dazzles with dunks in Dapper Dan Classic By Th AuooatM Pr§»t Pittsburgh—The fans came to see the nation’s two most taiked-about high school players, Alonzo Mourning and Billy Owens, but they left the Dapper Dan Roundball Classic talking about the not-so-national- ly-known Anthony Peeler and Or- lando Vega. The East routed the West team 121-100, despite the performance of Paseo’s Peeler. Peeler, a 6-foot-4 wing who will attend Missouri in the fall, was the crowd-pleaser. He spiced the game with six slam dunks, Including two spectacular breakaways from midcourt He scored 19 points and was award- ed the West team’s most valuable player award. Vega, a 6-foot-4 native of Washington,' D.C., who was the last player picked for the game, scored 24 points and Kentucky recruit Shawn Ellis of Elkhart, Ind., had 21 as the East routed the West 121-100 Friday night In the nation's oldest prep all-star game. Vega was chosen the East MVP and was the high scorer. Vega, from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., was added to the East's roster last week when Todd Day of Memphis, Tenn., was unable to attend. He made eight of 12 shots and seven of nine free throws. “I didn’t really come here to score a lot of points or to prove anything, I Just came here to play the game and have fun,” Vega said. We blended well together and I'm happy about the MVP award, because I wasn’t expecting it” A fourth-team Parade All- America who will attend Arizo- na, Vega scored 12 points in each half as the favored East took first-half leads of as many as 13 points and then cruised to the victory as five players scored in double figures. The 6-10 Mourning had several jams, but the king of the dunks was Peeler. At one point he scored seven straight West points on three breakaway slams and a free throw. ‘‘(Missouri) Coach (Norm) Stewart told me to work on my defense, that if I played good defense the points would come,” Peeler said. ‘‘I had six dunks in a game before, but this was differ- ent. I mean this is the Dapper Dan and everybody wants to come here and play in this game.” The quicker East team opened up a 104-79 lead with about 5 minutes left and substitutes for both teams wound up logging more playing time than the regu- lars. The attendance was 14,042 in the 16,033-seat Civic Arena. • • • Landover, Md. —Malik Sealy scored 23 points and Litterial Green added 19 as the U S. All- Stars posted a 112-83 victory over the Capital Ail-Stars in the 15th annual Capital Classic High School All-Star Game at the Cap- ital Centre. Sealy, a 6-7 forward from the Bronx who will attend St. John’s next fall, also led the U.S. team with nine rebounds. He had only five points and two rebounds in the first half, but added six points in the first 3:24 of the second half, as the U.S. Stars stretched their 49-38 halftime lead into a 63-42 advantage. Matt Steigenga, another 6-7 forward who is headed to Michi- gan State next season, contribu- ted 13 points and six rebounds in 19 minutes for the U.S. team. A three-time all-state selection in Michigan, Steigenga scored eight in the first half and three more in the opening minute of the second half. Washington-area player of the year, Jerrod Mustaf of DeMatha High in Hyattsville, Md., lived up to his adavnce billing. The 6-10 Mustaf, who is headed to Mary- land. led the Capital All-Stars with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Milton Bell, of Richmond, who will play at Georgetown next year, was the only other double- figure scorer for the Capital squad. He had 11 points, all in the second half.

But the Pirates, who made 22 of 29 free throws, got two free throws from junior Larry Lewis with 30 seconds left, making it 71-65. Lewis scored eight of his 20 points in the fourth quarter. Paseo's Anthony Peeler led the Pirates with 25 points while junior Fred Mas added 12. Peeler also had 10 rebounds, dished out 10 assists and had five steals, but it was his 11-for-13 shooting at the free-throw line that Troy Coach Mitch Wilkins uid hurt the most.
