Best High School game you have ever witnessed?
#11
That is a  basically an impossible task for me to reach a definitive answer on.. lol So I will go with one of the most fun games that I witnessed sitting in the front row directly behind Allen Central High School’s bench at the 1994 All A Classic vs Elkhorn City. Was one of the more entertaining games due to 1 single factor…, (STRAIGHT UP DUEL WITH Todd Conley and Jeremy Hall) That game saw Elkhorn City actually come away with the win with a final score of 98-89. Was just a game that saw the 2 Mountain stars completely put on clinics and take over large chunks of the game individually. Todd Conley scored a game high 52 pts! But in Conley fashion he put of some high volume! Lol Finishing the game (17-36) from the floor, 7 of 16 from deep and 12-13 from the stripe. Jeremy Hall on the other hand maybe actually put on the show of all show’s that night even though coming up short for the W, and being out scored by 6pts by Conley. But it was the Rebels Jr guard and future Wisconsin Badger who entered the game still sporting a cast on his non shooting hand from a wrist injury. You talking about heroic as he mustard up 46 points on a magical “12” 3pt baskets including a 4th qtr for the ages that saw him connect on 6 of his 12 three pointers!!!! There was a run of 4-5 almost consecutively where Hall cross the timeline and give a little right handed low to the floor in and out dribble or a little shimmy and then just ride up from well beyond the line from deep and straight away! Each make, and each trip the crowd grew in a full roar that when he would pull it there would be a brief sec of silence, as ever was waiting in the wings to see if he could do it again!!! Lol 



*Fun Facts- Now I’m not ? sure, but fairly certain that game saw 2 of the 15th Region’s individual All A Tournament records broken that night. Most points scored with Conley’s 52, and most 3pt fg’s made by Hall with his 12! Even crazier is the fact that the 2 players broke the record that was previously held by the other guy!!!

The other fun fact is the 2 great longtime Region coaching legends in Allen Central’s Johnny Martin who has his place in the KHSAA HOF, with over 600 career W’s, taking on friend and longtime Region legend who had much success at other stops along the way in Randy McCoy! But the fun fact is Jeremy Hall who would go on to sign and play his freshmen season of college basketball in the Big 10 for Dick Bennett and the Wisconsin Badgers! Played he did, as Hall started a good portion of the season, was a Big 10 All Freshmen 2nd Team member and for quiet a few seasons held the Badgers record for most made 3pt baskets in a season by a freshman! Anyway after several transfers and stops along the way Hall would find himself playing his final days of college basketball back home for Pikeville College and help lead them to a NAIA FINAL FOUR birth, and he was Coached and led by none other than the leader and HC for the Cougars that magical night in the All A Classic, early 1994.
