Jaime Walz, now Jaime Richey (head coach at Highlands) scored 4,948 points and was named the national player of the year as a senior at Highlands in 1996. Will anyone ever approach that record (which would require averaging 28 ppg for 30 games ........ for SIX YEARS!) I think it is worth noting, too, that she did that against the top competition in the state, and didn't load up on small outmanned schools.

Doubt it'll happen any time soon.

Seems like an impossible number to reach below are the national girls records.

Wow Amazing!

Not unless she starts and plays varsity from the 6th grade on, and then she has to be a major player, not just a 5th starter.

IMO, no one will ever break this record because it is so hard to play up in the 7th and 8th grades with all the good talent that's already there.

Thanks for the statistical research. And obviously Jaime only ranks 11th, instead of 2nd, because they did not include her 7th and 8th grade points. I have always wondered about the rationale behind not including those - after all, she scored them in varsity games - why wouldn't they be included? I am glad the KHSAA saw it the other way and included them.

 

Secondly, the Grigsby records have never made sense to me. The KHSAA has her scoring at almost 50 ppg for 2 years, but there is only a single game recorded for her scoring more than 50 in a game (the Kentucky record of 81). Anybody that can shed light on Grigsby's records and why the KHSAA record book is so incomplete?

Jaime Walz, now Jaime Richey (head coach at Highlands) scored 4,948 points and was named the national player of the year as a senior at Highlands in 1996. Will anyone ever approach that record (which would require averaging 28 ppg for 30 games ........ for SIX YEARS!) I think it is worth noting, too, that she did that against the top competition in the state, and didn't load up on small outmanned schools.

 

Agreed.

 

3 regional titles and 1994 state runner-up.

:ohbrother:

This record will be tough to match. So many girls are involved with AAU teams and school teams and are simply better basketball (especially on the defensive side) players than in the past, where the majority of players only played school ball.

WOW! this was before the three point line!:notworthy:

 

Doubt this sheds light but here is a pic of Grigsby in 1975.

 

Oddly enough Grigsby only played 3 years. Title IX brought back the girls game in 1975 giving her only 3 years of eligibility.

To score 4,385 points in three seasons is quite unbelievable.

 

That is about 49 points a game if you guess that they play a 30 game season.

Back then with basketball starting up they may have played the same team 30 times??? Hard to tell. Any ole timers care to weigh in?

I feel a little ashamed to ask this (being a Newport girl and all, I should probably already know), but does anybody know Donna Murphy's stats for her years at Newport?
