Epiphanny Prince of Murry Bergtraum High School scored 113 points in a game Wednesday, which broke Cheryl's Miller previous record of 105.
I find this to be, well, amazing. I played high school basketball. I never quite got to 113 points. I can't even imagine 113 points. In some of my high school games, both teams didn't get to 113 points combined. Also worthy of note is that Lisa Leslie once scored 101 points in the first half... and then they refused to play the second half. Which begs the question, they were playing in the first half? But I digress. For those interested, Prince will be attending Rutgers next year.
Also of basketball note, excellent game tonight as #10 George Washington came back to beat Xavier 89-85. I wasn't able to see the first half, but I did watch the second half, and I'm glad I did, because I've been meaning to watch George Washington for some time to see if they're for real. And I came away impressed with both teams.
At 13-5, I'm not sure what Xavier's chances to get to the tourney are. But if they do make it, I think they may be capable of something. They executed well, and had good balance. George Washington I really liked. The President and the basketball team. Their execution on the fast break was fun to watch, they hit some shots, were very good on the offensive boards, and played solid defense in the 2nd half. I think both of these teams can be capable of good things.
