Mcnuggets From The Game

? MICHAEL BEASLEY (below) scored 23 points on 10-of-13 shooting and had 12 rebounds to take MVP honors in the East's 114--112 win in the McDonald's All American game. The power forward from Notre Dame Prep ( Fitchburg, Mass.), who is headed to Kansas State, had six offensive boards, several of which he dunked back in.

? THE MOST EXCITING of the game's dunks in an otherwise numbing procession: a baseline drive and tomahawk slam from Johnny Flynn, a 6-foot guard from Niagara Falls (N.Y.) High and a Syracuse recruit.

? JASMINE THOMAS won MVP of the girls' game. The Duke-bound guard from Oakton High ( Fairfax, Va.) had 16 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in a 105--76 win for the East.
