Schoolgirl outdoes Kobe - and Wilt

One night after all eyes were on Kobe Bryant at Madison Square Garden to see if he could break Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point record, a high school senior named Epiphanny Prince did it a little farther downtown.
Prince, who will play at Rutgers next season, set a national high school girls basketball record with 113 points in host Murry Bergtraum's 137-32 win over Brandeis yesterday.
Prince, a 5-9 senior guard, made 54 of 60 shots. Prince broke the record of Riverside Poly's Cheryl Miller, who scored 105 points for the California school in 1982.
"It's just amazing to me," Prince told SI.com. "My best game had been 55 points in eighth grade."
Bergtraum coach Ed Grezinsky said, "When I was told she had 58 points at the half, I thought she had a chance to do something special."
Prince scored 38 points in the first quarter, 20 in the second, 25 in the third and 30 in the fourth.
"It was exciting," Grezinsky said. "As a coach, you don't have many opportunities to see an all-time national record be broken."
Prince, who passed the 2,000-point mark for her career last month, averages 38 points in league play.

Another interesting sports tidbit. Not that I follow women basketball, in any form, but still an amazing record. |
