WOW, I never thought in a million years I'd ever be able to talk high school ball with you guys, but it's happening (and right in my backyard).

The best high school baller just scored 100 points in Camden High School's 157-67? victory over Gloucester Township Tech. He had like 40some at halftime, and 72 after 3 quarters, before reaching 100 with 4 minutes left in the game.

Notes:
* The games are only 32 minutes long (8 minute quarters).
* Camden pressed all game.
* GTT was clearly overmatched, losing 40-8 after the first quarter.
* He was the 13th or so high school player ever to score 100 in a game, but the first in NJ.
* (More as I remember it...)

Does anybody have a problem with his coach leaving Wagner in? Seriously, after watching this guy for the past 4 years, I'm happy to see him get the attention. He's that darn good, and fun to watch at that.

Watch out for when he comes to the NBA! He's going to Memphis next year under John Calipari, his assistant coach dad Milt Wagner, and playing next to his best friend -- forward Arthur Barclay. I'm proud that someone this good is choosing college now-a-days.

Yeah, I saw something about this kid on SportsCenter - pretty impressive, high school or not. Don't forget that name...

01/18-FROM THE RIDICULOUS ZONE- High school ball is is high school ball, but did you see this line: Texas' Heritage Christian Academy hung a 172-28 score against BANSF TX, yup twenty eight! Even more impressive was Cedric Hensley's 101 points that game, but that was out matched by the triple double of Lamar Hurd (10 rebounds, 11 steals and 32 assists)- That my friends is sick........

Yeah I heard about this. The losing team's coach was doing an interview on the radio and I listened to it and apparently the winning team was full court pressing and half court pressing the whole game and all their starters were 6 feet and above while the losing team didn't have anybody on their roster over 6 feet and their whole roster was compromised of freshmen with 8 of his main players graduating last year. Ouch, doesn't make for a good situation.

Actually if I was the losing coach, I'd be pretty PO'd if the other team was still pressing when they were up by oh I don't know like 80 points in the 2nd half. That wouldn't make me too happy. If I was their coach I would have probably just walked my team off the court with say like 5 minutes left in the game and take the "forfeit". The other team would still get the "W" of course, but the records, the 100 point game by Cedric Hensley, the score, they would all go bye bye.

I wouldn't mind having my team lose by 100 or so (had we been losing that bad in the game). Just imagine the press and TV time you'd get. All that publicity, good or bad, is better than none at all. Besides, its not like your going to be hired to be the next basketball coach at Duke ... you're the Varsity coach of a local HS losing squad. Yeah, maybe my ethics are crap ... but still ... it'd be worth it :-)
