Epiphanny Prince of Murry Bergtraum High School in New York scored 113 points in a game Wednesday. She had 29 points in the first quarter, 58 at the half, and she was in the 80s by the end of the third.
Prince, a 5-foot-9 senior guard, led her team to a 137-32 victory over Brandeis High School.


Man, this girl is insane!!! Sure, the team she was facing might have not been the most difficult opponent, but most people still couldn't have made that many baskets if you asked them to. This girl has a bright future ahead her. Two-time WNBA MVP Lisa Leslie scored 101 points in a half for Morningside High School in Inglewood, Calif., against South Torrance in 1990. South Torrance refused to play the second half. The boys' high school record is 135 points set by Danny Heater of Burnsville High School in West Virginia in 1960, according to the National High School Sports Record Book on the National Federation of State High School Associations' Web site.

Other basketball highs:

Wilt Chamberlain of the NBA scored 100 on March 2, 1962.

Kobe Bryant of the NBA scored 81 on January 22, 2006.


John Barber's Los Angeles State team beat the Chapman College JV squad 206-82 in a 1953 contest. Barber tallied 188 points. The next day, he scored 103 against Los Angeles Community College's JV. The day after that, he connected on 73 of 97 field goals and totaled 150 points against a team of L.A. scribes.

Walter Garrett
Back in 1963, the Birmingham West End High star scored 97 points against Birmingham Glenn Vocational. Final game score: West End 97, Glenn Vocational 54. And dig this: Garrett was quintuple-teamed the entire game.

Mary Boyd racked up 156 points in a 1924 game for Lonaconing (Md.) Central High in its 163-3 crushing of Ursuline Academy.

Thoughts?

Congrats to her. I would think scoring over 40 points in a game is tough on any level.

[brockandsable]

Kobe's feat of scoring 81 is still better, simply because it's on the professional level and he scored at will against professional players. I'll even go as far as saying that it tops Wilt's record in terms of performance because Bryant is 6'6" and Wilt was 7'0" and lacked the athleticism Bryant shows night in and night out. Plus the degree of difficulty of the game has increased. But to tell me this girl is better than Bryant? I can't buy it. The high school game is much easier than the professional, so comparing is unacceptable.

[Trent Matsunoshin]

Agreed.

[kingofallmedia23]

Oh, I never meant to imply that she is better than Kobe Bryant. The thread title was simply to catch people's eyes. Kobe's feat was amazing, no doubt about it.

Kobe's ain't better than Wilt's cause Kobe had a 3 point line to depend on, he was up against the shitty Raptors. 21 points off 3s, 18 points from thr free throw line & it still wasn't 100. The calibur of players may not have been as good back then (but neither are the Raptors), but they were much more physical when Wilt was playing.

[brockandsable]

I have a feeling Bryant will break that record this year, because he's simply out for himself, out to make history. The man has championship rings and has experienced the glory of winning, and he knows the Lakers finish 6th seed at best with the kind of mediocrity he has as help. He's out to make history, and that just might happen soon.

My personal high was 46 points my Junior year... The only sucky thing about it was the fact that it was a pre-season game against White Mountain Regional and didn't count towards the recorded stats. If it were a season game, I would have tied the school record, which was held by my father. The record has been broken since though.

Mary Boyd racked up 156 points in a 1924 game for Lonaconing (Md.) Central High in its 163-3 crushing of Ursuline Academy.

163-3! Jesus! Talk about not putting the bench into the game. That's a slap in the face to the opposing coach.

EDIT: This kinda makes me want to scan some old basketball newspaper cut-outs. You all may like reading about some of my old school B-ball games.

[brockandsable]

[shinnstheory]

I could dunk a girl's ball too. ;D

[shinnstheory]

I shall. I just found the folder. I'll need to hit up the neighbor to use the scanner. I'll get to it this week.

[shinnstheory]

Ha! I just found some cut outs of when I was crowded Homecoming King. Such a dork. And, the worst part is, the picture made front paper of our paper. I'll scan that too... Good for a laugh.

[brockandsable]

We still laugh at you anyway. ;D
