Can You Score "113" Points in a Single Game ?????

NEW YORK – Kobe who?

Manhattan girls hoops star Epiphanny Prince scored 113 points Wednesday in a game for her Murry Bergtraum High School team – making Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game look like child’s play.

“I guess this is just once in a lifetime,” said Prince, 17, of Brooklyn. “This is amazing to me.”

The 5-foot-10 senior hit an incredible 54 out of 60 shots in leading her team to a 137-32 rout of Louis Brandeis High School.

It was only after the final whistle blew that Prince found out she had shattered the girls high school record set by the legendary Cheryl Miller, who went off for 105 points in a 1982 contest.

“When I found out I broke the record, I just started smiling,” Prince said. “I couldn’t stop smiling.”

The triple-digit display came an hour after Prince told her coach she was getting bored of playing against much weaker competition.

Coach Ed Grezinsky challenged her to play her best game every time she steps on the court – and she took the advice to heart. “We didn’t plan this,” Grezinsky said. “She just scored like crazy.”

Prince, who plans to play for Rutgers next year, started the game strong, hitting for 39 points in the first quarter. By halftime, she had 59 points, topping her previous complete game career high of 51.

She only scored one point from the free throw line and hit just four three-pointers as she knifed through the defense at will to score lay-up after lay-up.

The record-setting performance caps a turbulent year of redemption for Prince, who went on trial last spring for her role in a brawl outside a Brooklyn supermarket.

Prince was eventually acquitted of third-degree assault and third-degree menacing charges. She was found guilty of a lesser charge of harassment.

She can be lucky that none of the girls that she was brawling with were on the other team. How do you score 113 points when you win by 100? I guess nowadays you let your best player in the game the whole game no matter if you're winning by 100 or not. That's sad.

Unless they only had 5 players on their team, I think it is disgusting.

Most definitely. How can you do this to a team? I don't care what record she was going for. It's a meaningless game and once you get up by 40 you take your best player out. I guess that's not how it's done these days. If I was on the other team, that would've been her last game of the season.

come on delieverance, weren't you even a little impressed?

It's impressive. However, it's very wrong. Just think if she gets hurt and then misses the playoffs. Does that justify the coach's excuse of letting her in up by 50?

i'm not saying it was right for the team winning by 100 to keep its player in the game, but why are basketball & football coaches always be expected to pull their starters when the game gets out of control.

if a team is winning a wrestling meet by some ridiculous score like 60-6 with only a few weights to wrestle, how come the fans don't expect the coach put in his second team wrestlers. or in baseball if a pitcher is winning 15-0 and isn't pitching a no-hitter how come fans don't expect the coach to put in second team pitcher? soccer coaches aren't expected to pull their goalie when they are up big say 9-1. track coaches aren't expected to take their top athletes out of events if they are winning big with only a few events left in a meet.

yet in basketball a coach is expected pull his starters when he gets a big lead and a football coach is suppose to take out his top players when they get a big lead. why the double standard?
