At the game's defining moment, when the last 10 seconds remained, his go-ahead 3-pointer gave the team an important lead.
But Dylan Mingo’s free throw pushed the game into overtime. In the extra period, Peterson and teammate Winters Grady—who added 21 points—combined for all 11 overtime points and sealed the victory for Prolific Prep.

At the prestigious McDonald’s All-American Game, Prolific Prep’s Darryn Peterson emerged as co-MVP, along with Carlos Boozer’s son Cameron Boozer. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard scored 18 points that helped the West team win over the East team in a 105-92 on Tuesday.
Peterson is the top-ranked combo guard in the Class of 2025, per 247Sports. He has signed with Kansas Jayhawks, where he will begin his college basketball career.
