    The players below scored 50 points in a game. An asterisk means the effort is
a record for league play in the Public, Catholic or Inter-Ac.
    Italic score means the player accomplished the feat for the losing team.
    The rule allowing three-point field goals took effect for the 1986-87 season in the
Catholic League, for the 1987-88 season in the Public and Inter-Ac Leagues.
    From 1971 on, there are four lefties on the list: Eric White, Chris Hanes,
Anthony "Bub" King and Lynn Greer.
