Nebraska recruit Donovan Williams scored nine of his game-high 30 points in the second quarter, including a slam dunk on a back door cut to the basket, that helped Lincoln North Star to a 71-50 win over Lincoln Southwest Tuesday night at the Prasch Activities Center in a game heard on ESPN Lincoln 101.5FM/1480AM.

Williams had 15 points at halftime and added 15 more before being pulled from the game early in the fourth quarter. The Gators also got 16 point performances each from Jared Lopez and sophomore guard Kwat Abdelkarim.
