Look out, Kobe: NYC girl scores 113 in HS game
Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Hey Kobe, top this.

Epiphanny Prince of Murry Bergtraum High School scored 113 points in a game Wednesday, breaking a girls' national prep record previously held by Hall of Famer Cheryl Miller.

Prince, a 5-foot-9 senior guard, led her team to a 137-32 victory over Brandeis High School.

"After I scored 29 points in the first quarter, I didn't think much of it," Prince told The Associated Press by phone Wednesday night. "After I had 58 points at the half, and especially after having in the 80s after the third quarter, I just decided to go for it.

"It was efficient," she said. "It wasn't like I missed a whole bunch of shots. That's what made it even better."

Prince, one of the nation's top high school players, is headed to Rutgers next season. Her previous high this season was 51 points for the Lady Blazers, ranked No. 2 in the nation by USA Today.

"At the half, we thought she had a chance to break the record so we just let her go," coach Ed Grezinsky said.

Miller scored 105 points for Riverside Poly in California against Riverside Norte Vista in 1982. She went on to become an All-American at USC.

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.

"It's an amazing thing when an individual does that," NBA star LeBron James said when told about Prince's performance. "I don't know who she is, but maybe we'll see her in the WNBA. For that matter, the NBA."

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.

Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors on Jan. 22, the second-highest total in NBA history. The league record is 100 points by Wilt Chamberlain on March 2, 1962.

WOW. I think my personal highest record was in a friendly match during secondary. And thats only 21, when the total score is 30 plus to __ ..

Shes awesome but i think her teammates were even more generous*. Wonder if any video was taken down for this match of hers.

owwwwwwwwwwwwned

I feel bad for the losing team.

[gary]

actually, not a very impressive performance, and a horrible show of sportsmanship.

she was 54-60, but probably 90% of those shots were layups. they were running a press, and anytime they stole the ball, she got it and layed it up. plus they say that the other team was pretty bad. i do believe they rated teh other team as an average middle school team playing high school ball.

and 113 is still not as impressive as lisa leslie's 101 at halftime.

dajuan wagner put in a 100 pt game when he was in hs

plus they say that the other team was pretty bad. i do believe they rated teh other team as an average middle school team playing high school ball.

kinda like the raptors when kobe scored 81 huh?

[Chioster]

I could probably score a couple hundred if I played against a bad team . My friend who is the Center of my schools bball team is 6'5 and he is getting an average of 40 ppg, 22 rpg, and 4bpg and he aint playing against bad teams either. 2 out of 5 of the games were played against last years city champions and they lost in both but still.

[acestro]

bad teams = loads of points!!!!!!!!!!!!
