In the final round alone, the total votes between Carter and West Texas A&M’s Antjuan Ball tallied over 34,000 with the difference between first and second place coming in at .001 percent. Due to the abundance of support for both athletes, the contest committee has decided to accept both competitors into the 2015 State Farm Slam Dunk contest.

Davene Carter placed third among eight NCAA Division I basketball players in the Denny’s Slam Dunk Contest televised on ESPN, April 2.
