Worst dunk contest ever! But Breanna is tied for the lead. Gary Harris of HSE (Taya Reimer's school) would have easily been better than 5 of the other guys.

Morgan won's the girls competition. But, she lost the Boys vs Girls portion.

Full write-up here
Of note:
Breanna Stewart, one of three girls in the contest, brought the crowd at the University of Illinois-Chicago to its feet when she slammed home a two-handed alley-oop for her first attempt and followed it up with a one-handed alley-oop for her second. Stewart, a UConn commit from Cicero-North Syracuse (Cicero, N.Y.) and the No. 1 prospect in the ESPNU HoopGurlz 100, earned a perfect score of 140 in the first round to advance to the finals. No girl had won the contest since Candace Parker in 2004.
But Shabazz Muhammad of Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) stepped up to claim the championship.
In between the skills competition and the dunk contest, Morgan Tuck of Bolingbrook (Ill.), a UConn commit, moved out to the perimeter to win the girls' 3-point contest. She had a chance to tie boys' winner Rasheed Sulaimon of Strake Jesuit (Houston), but her final shot rimmed out.
--------------------------------
Worth pointing out here is that Shabazz Muhammad is the #1 or #2 recruit of the 2012 class. I don't care at all about dunking in the woman's game, but that's still a testament to Breanna's athleticism.
