NEW YORK (AP) - Hey Kobe, top this.

Epiphanny Prince of Murry Bergtraum High School scored 113 points in a game Wednesday, breaking a 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 in a phone interview late 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."

Prince had 58 points at halftime 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. :smh:

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.

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

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. :eek:

Prince, one of the nation's top high school players, is headed to Rutgers next season. Her previous high this season was 51 points.

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

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 Association's Web site.

In his stunning 81-point game last month, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant was 28-of-46 from the floor against the Toronto Raptors.

The NBA record is 100 points in a game by Wilt Chamberlain in 1962.

Don't mean to take anything away from her "inspiring performance
(yes I do, lol), but on the high school level, the skill level is so BAD
that many high schools can barely put out a five man squad. Any
decent player is virtually unstoppable at that level....I remember trying
to put out a girls team at my center and we exactly ONE girl out of
maybe 7 or 8 that tried out that could actually dribble from one end
of the court to the next. And she couldn't do it without looking down
at least once or twice....The center had over 100 girls that attended

Needless to say, our team wasn't too successful. We lost one game
58-9 and that girl had 7 of those points.

Isn't this the same girl who almost got put in jail a few months ago??
For beating up another girl or something??

Is it possible to give "props" or credit to someone without having intentions of belitting their accomplishment? That remains to be seen.

Sheryl Miller is probably somewhere cursing that girl right now lol

For guys...it is. You can't go 10 yards without
tripping over a basketball player in this town
But womens' sports is another matter entirely

As for "belittling" her acomplishment, I really
couldn't care less...and I am from Brooklyn too
I just want to put it into perspective. I am sure
that high school squads are competent enough
to field a decent squad. But don't be surprised
if half the team can't perform some basic functions
