LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - Within seconds of the opening tip, Tyran Stokes showed no hesitation.

The first time he touched the ball, he dribbled into the heart of the key for a small fadeaway jumper to log his first two points for Notre Dame/Sherman Oaks en route to a 20-point performance in an 82-55 victory at Fairfax High Friday night.

Stokes was 7 of 12 from the field and 5 of 8 from the free throw line. He knocked down one 3-pointer and had numerous eye-popping plays, including an emphatic two-handed dunk that didn't count because the official called a charge.

Stokes helped move Notre Dame to 8-0 on the season. Sophomore teammate NaVorro Bowman added 21 points. Josiah Nance had seven points, seven rebounds and seven assists.
