Donnell Gresham was limping around on a sprained ankle. He wasn’t feeling any pain. Gresham was moving around on adrenaline.

The junior guard scored eight points in the second overtime, leading Cretin-Derham Hall to an improbable 89-77 upset over No. 1-ranked Apple Valley in the Class 4A, Section 3 boys’ basketball championship Thursday night before a deafening standing-room-only crowd at Farmington High School.

“I know some people might have doubted us, but I was confident we were going to win this game,” an ecstatic Gresham said after the Raiders (23-6) ended Apple Valley’s 22-game winning streak. “This was a great win for us.”

The loss brought a dejected end to the illustrious career of Apple Valley senior point guard Tyus Jones. The Duke recruit finished with 35 points, eight assists, six steals and three rebounds. He was 14-for-25 from the floor.

The five-year starter led the Eagles (27-2) to their only state championship a year ago. Apple Valley topped Park Center 74-57 in the 4A finals.

Jones scored more than 2,000 points and handed out over 1,000 assists in his stellar high school career. He helped the United States to gold medals at the 2011 under-16 FIBA Americas tournament and 2012 under-17 FIBA World championships.

“I don’t think we’re going to see another player like Tyus for quite a while,” Cretin-Derham Hall coach Jerry Kline Jr. said. “He’s a special talent.”

It was a special atmosphere, too, with raucous fans on both sides of the floor standing for the final three minutes of regulation and both overtimes.

The noise didn’t affect Gresham. He made six consecutive free throws and a driving layup during a 15-1 run to close the game. He finished with 22 points and 13 rebounds.

“I have to give Cretin-Derham Hall a lot of credit,” Jones said. “They had a great game plan, and executed it well. You can’t win ’em all.”

After Jones scored on a driving layup to start the second OT, Raiders senior guard Michael Hannon connected on his fifth three-pointer for a 77-76 lead. 

The Raiders, who were paced by Hannon’s 26 points, never trailed again.

“One of our coaches told me at halftime to keep shooting,” said Hannon, who was 1-for-6 on three-pointers in the first half. “I made a couple shots and started getting confident in the second half. My teammates did an excellent job of getting me the ball.”

Hannon made two three-pointers in the final three minutes of regulation, helping Cretin-Derham Hall erase a five-point deficit and pull even at 74-74. 

Neither team scored in the first overtime. The Raiders missed shots at the end of regulation and the first overtime to win.

“We were very fortunate,” Kline said. “I’m in a little bit of awe right now.”

Apple Valley senior forward Dennis Austin, who had 10 points and 15 rebounds, left on a stretcher after committing a hard foul on Gresham’s layup with 58 seconds left in the second overtime. Jones was also injured on the sequence at the other end of the court, but he returned to the game.

The Eagles’ only other loss this season came Dec. 12 at home to Chicago’s Whitney Young, featuring Jones’ friend and fellow Duke recruit Jahlil Okafor. Jones and Okafor are widely regarded as two of the top five players in the nation for the Class of 2014.

But Jones’ team was upstaged Thursday.

“The big stage brings out the best players,” Gresham said. “I think I matched up pretty well with one of the best guards in the nation tonight.”
