1-14-26 roundup: Pro football and basketball, College football and basketball, High school basketball
By Richard Walker
Huss sophomore Jaleel Smith had a game for the ages Tuesday night in the Huskies’ 77-74 win over visiting Crest in a Big South 5A/6A matchup of previous league unbeatens.
Smith, a 6-foot-1, 175-pound guard, scored 59 points on 18 of 28 field goals (2 of 6 on 3-pointers) and 21 of 23 free throws. He also had 11 rebounds, 6 steals and 2 assists.
The effort set a school record was one point shy of a county record and is a top 15 mark in N.C. High School Athletic Association boys basketball history.
Bessemer City’s Randall Pettus set the single-game county record with 60 points for Bessemer City against Piedmont Community Charter during the COVID-19-shortened season of 2021 on Feb. 12, 2021.
Previously, in 1969, Bessemer City’s Tony Byers had set the county record with 59 points against old Tryon High School.
At Huss, the previous single-game record was 42 points by Kris Lang in the 1998 MEGA 7 4A Conference tournament championship game against crosstown rival Ashbrook.
