Back on March 11th in Belfry’s last regular game against another 15th Region team Lawrence County, Jr. Bol Kuir, who is leading the state with 14.3 rebounds a game, posted a double-double of 25 points and 42 rebounds in their double overtime win 78-77 over the Bulldogs of Lawrence County.

Yeah you heard right 42 REBOUNDS! 

This has to be some kind of record. I have never heard of anyone getting anywhere near 42 rebounds. 20 would be considered outstanding, and we rarely ever hear of that. 

The Belfry Pirates are still alive as they will face the Pike County Central Hawks in the 60th District Finals Friday night. Belfry won their regular season matchup with the Hawks 67-62. 

I didn't have 42 rebounds in my career.

You're barely 42 inches tall.

I never did like you.

He just missed breaking the all time single game record for rebounds by 3 as Russ Milton of Fredonia High School pulled down 48 rebounds in a game against Marion High School on January 21st, 1957. Bol Kuir moves into 2nd place in most rebounds in a game past King Kelly Coleman of Wayland High School who had 41 boards against Maytown High School in 1956.

I don't care who you are that there is funny.

Didn't a player(maybe the same) just have 42 a couple weeks ago?

The last time a player had 30 or more rebounds in a game was in 1999 when George Potter of June Buchanan had 30 boards on Jan. 22, 1999 against Cordia. 

Brian Sayler of Red Bird also had a 30 rebound game in 1999 against Jackson City on Jan 5th, 1999

This happened on March 11th, so I'll guess it's the same.

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying. 

After some research on Bol Kuir, he's 7'3"

 

The game was apparently rewatched twice with stats recorded, and he had “only” 31 rebounds. Which obviously is still a massive feat. Wireman had posted the story. 

Video made after the 42 Rebounds. 

 

I haven't seen all of that stats for that game, but now seeing what he's about it wouldn't surprise me that he posted a triple-double in that game if you throw in blocks.

Wow I must've missed this already having been discussed. I can't locate Wireman's thread regarding this, and looking at his profile it doesn't look like he's posted anything for quite a while. If by chance you can locate the thread where this was discussed could you link it up here. I'd be interested in what was said in that thread. Thanks.
