Later, a packed Eric Clark Activity Center watched as eight more men’s basketball players competed in the slam dunk competition. Derrick Jones of Marcus Hook, PA, won by jumping over four competitors, each with their phones out, and dunking the ball.
After the event, Cline was swarmed by Carmel fans. Cline said, “It feels great winning the 3-point championship.”
