Video: Michael Porter Jr. leads Nathan Hale past Franklin
No. 1-ranked Raiders improve to 12-0 with 91-55 win in Metro Leauge play.

Michael Porter Jr. is making the amazing look routine this season.

Tuesday night against Metro League foe Franklin (Seattle), Porter Jr. went for 42 points, 14 rebounds and four assists as Nathan Hale (Seattle, Wash.) improved to 12-0 with a 91-55 win.

The Raiders – ranked No. 1 nationally in MaxPreps.com's High School Top 25 – improved to 12-0 on the season.



After going 3-18 a year ago (without Porter and new head coach Brandon Roy), Nathan Hale is averaging 88.6 points per game this season and have won nine of 12 outings by 20 points or more.

Porter Jr. is averaging over 30 points and 15 rebounds per game – but not all is going perfectly for the nation's No. 1 senior basketball prospect.

The University of Washington pledge got tossed from the game Tuesday after picking up his second technical near the end of the third quarter. Things got a little testy in the Metro League showdown and freshman brother Coban also was ejected after leaving the bench during a minor scuffle.
Michael Porter Jr. might go down as the greatest high school basketball player in Washington history despite playing just one season in the Evergreen State.
