Whitney Creech is within 300 points of the career scoring record for both boys and girls in Kentucky high school basketball history.

 

She scored 48 points including 32 in the second half as the Jenkins Lady Cavaliers (9-7 overall) rallied past the Leslie County Lady Eagles (11-5) on Wednesday by a 70-61 count. That marked the first All "A" 14th Region Tournament win for Jenkins in two years.

 

Creech has 815 points on the season for an average of 50.9 points per game and 4,666 for her career. She needs 283 points to surpass Highlands Head Coach Jaime Walz-Richey's total of 4,948.

 

Leslie County won the All "A" 14th Region Tournament three years in a row including an 81-60 victory over Jenkins in the title game two years ago. Jenkins last won the region in 1999.

 

Jenkins earned the right to face Breathitt County (13-4) on Friday at Perry County Central in the tournament semifinals. Game time is 6 p.m. and the winner plays for the championship Saturday at 8 p.m.

How many points has she scored in just her high school years?

This is a big time upset.

Hope they win this Region, would love to see her at the All A State tourney.

I've only seen Creech on a highlight video. Can someone give me a summary of her skills? How tall is she? Any D1 offers?

 

She doesn't appear to be overly quick but gets to the rim. Does Jenkins have much to go with her? To average 50 is a great feat no matter who you are playing.

I know she is signed to play basketball at WKU

 

Wish she would play someone in northern ky so I could watch her play. Seems like a great scorer!

I would love to see her play as well. I hope Jenkins wins the 14th Region All "A" title, but the next game against Breathitt County will be tough.

She signed with Western Kentucky

Very impressive

If my math is correct it looks like she needs 63 points to surpass Jamie Walz after scoring 220 points in her last 5 games to give her 1035 on the season. She still has 9 games left in the regular season so based on her current 49.3 average you would expect her to break the record on Feb. 4th at Perry County Central. In an earlier outing against Perry Co. Central she scored 55 points. She faces Painstville next On Feb. 2nd at Paintsville. I would expect a full house for those next 2 games in anticipation of her breaking the record.
