The long-awaited debut of 6-foot-7 junior Tyran Stokes at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame High finally happened on Friday night.
The transfer from Prolific Prep who won a gold medal playing for the USA 17U national team during the summer scored 20 points in an 82-55 victory over Fairfax. He had been sidelined after wrist surgery.
“He’s a great player, easy to play with, and will only get better as he gets back into shape,” coach Matt Sargeant said. “His wrist is healed. Surgery did his job.”
Most of his points came around the rim and he also had one three. NaVorro Bowman finished with 21 points for 8-0 Notre Dame, which has a nonleague game Saturday against El Camino Real, then travels to Las Vegas next week for the Tarkanian Classic.
Kentrel Roberson had 17 points for Fairfax.
