Richey | Dosunmu thrives when stakes are high

Ayo Dosunmu has always had a sense of the moment, able to elevate his game accordingly. Morgan Park's second consecutive state title in March was a perfect example. The Mustangs might have been the clear favorites against Springfield Southeast, but Dosunmu made it a sure thing.

A Class 3A state title game-record 28 points. Plus four rebounds and a pair of assists for good measure.

Was it his monster 51-point effort against Kenwood in December? Or his even bigger 61-point game in the Tarkanian Classic later that same month in Las Vegas? No, but what Dosunmu pulled off against the Spartans was exactly what Morgan Park needed to win its fourth championship in six seasons.
