SAGE SOPH ON SCORING SPREE

Sage’s sophomore Trever Drake scored 43 and 44 points in consecutive games recently. I went to my files to check the magnitude of this scoring spree. Only four Monticello players have ever topped 44 points in one game. Ken Dixon set a school record in the 1966-67 season with 45 points. Jeff Bailey twice tallied 47 points in 1973-74. Shawn Fatheree established a new mark with 49 in the 1990-91 season. Craig Waldrup holds the current record for points in a single game with 51 in 1991-92.
Other significant scoring marks are as follows: Tom Eller 44, Fatheree 44 (twice), Fatheree 43 (twice), Waldrup 43, Eller 38, Waldrup 38, Fatheree 37, Eller 37, Thad Trimble 37, Matt Bennett 36, Kevin Jones 36, Eller 35 (twice), and Curt Stratman 35.
Surprisingly absent from the list are some of the all time school career scoring leaders. Jim Williams, who is second only to Eller in career scoring, had a high game of 34 points. Aaron Thais third all-time scorer had a best of 30.
Athough there isn’t a record available, I can safely say that Drake has the record for the most points scored in one game by a sophomore. He may be the only player to score 77 points in consecutive games— but I am not sure on that.
