High School Player Scores 72 Of Team's 80 Points In 2OT Win

DOWAGIAC, Mich. (AP) — A southwestern Michigan high school player scored 72 points in her team's 80-78 double-overtime win, topping a girls' single-game state record set in 1979.

Kysre Gondrezick led Benton Harbor to an 80-78 victory Monday over Buchanan in a first-round Class B district playoff game. The Michigan High School Athletic Association's website says the previous girls' single-game record of 63 points was held by Debra Walker of Detroit Mumford.

The Herald-Palladium of St. Joseph reports Gondrezick is averaging 41.5 points per game this season.

The South Bend Tribune reports the 5-foot-10 Gondrezick scored all 23 of her team's overtime points, including the game-winning basket with 5.7 seconds left.

Asked whether she knew how many points she had, Gondrezick replied: "Enough for us to win, that's all that matters."
