Few freshmen have the amount of success that Cooper Flagg has had this season while playing for the Duke Blue Devils. He’s done that coming from small-town Maine where it’s rare to find star basketball players.

Mansfield was one of the many Mainers to make the trip south to Boston College on Saturday to see Flagg and Duke take on the Eagles. It was as close as Flagg, who in a short time playing college ball has only cemented his place as the top prospect in the upcoming NBA draft, will come this season to playing near his hometown, Newport.

Flagg scored a game-high 28 points and settled down after an early injury scare and missing four of his first five shots. Chad Venning led Boston College with 19 points.
