UConn signee Kelly Faris had a chance to send the eighth annual McDonald's All-American girls' games into overtime but she missed a free throw with one second left as the West held on for a 69-68 victory Wednesday at the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla.

Faris, a 5-foot-11 guard from Plainfield, Ind., grabbed a loose ball after Skylar Diggins had her 3-point shot blocked. Faris was fouled and hit the first two foul shots before her third attempt was long and bounced off the back rim.

Faris had four points, seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks.

North Carolina recruit Tierra Ruffin-Pratt, who had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the victorious West squad, and Notre Dame bound Diggins, who led the East with 18 points and five assists, were named co-MVPs of the game.

Faris, who led her Indianapolis-based Heritage Christian team to four straight Indiana 2A championships, was named to Indiana's Associated Press' All-State team.

During Wednesday's McDonald's All-American former UConn recruiting target Kelsey Bone, a 6-foot-5 center from Sugar Land, Tex. orally committed to South Carolina picking the Gamecocks over Texas, Texas A&M and Illinois.
