Soon to be Syracuse Orange basketball player Joe Girard ended his last game as a high-school basketball player this past weekend in the Capitol Hoops Classic by earning MVP honors of the United States All-Star Team. The Capitol Hoops Classic is an annual event held in Washington, D.C., which pits some of the best local DMV players up against various others who are Division I bound.
Despite the losing effort, Girard finished with a team-high 17 points (5-11 on 3s), 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals as the Capital All-Stars routed the U.S. All Stars 122-83.
