Ron Krick of West Reading, playing from 1957 through 1961 became the first Pennsylvania player ever to reach 3,000 points. He averaged 32.4 points per game and appeared in 98 games to finish with 3,174 points. Most points in one game in Pennsylvania: Pete Cimino (Bristol, 114 in 1960), see more individual game records HERE. Note that the most games played by a player on this list was 129 by Billy Owens and 128 by Jerry McNamara to reach their place on the list, while Wilt Chamberlain only played in 61 to reach the list. Owens and McNamara both went to Syracuse while Chamberlain went to Kansas. (Contribution credits listed below)

(we need his final totals)-credit Mike Higgins
--T. J. McConnell became the 25th
player in WPIAL history to score 2,000 career points. In the fourth quarter, he
also became Chartiers Valley's all-time leading scorer, breaking the mark of
Mike Colbert, who had 2,022 points. McConnell has 2,030.
*A.J. Nastasi
holds the records for:
-Pennsylvania Freshman Scoring Record-832
points (28 games)
-Pennsylvania Sophomore. Scoring Record-984 points (30 Games)
A.J. Nastasi and brother Joe Nastasi, neither ever scored less than 10 in a game
all four years of varsity
* Ron Krick missed 12 games during his
career because of injuries. He dislocated his shoulder on Christmas eve of
his senior year. At that point, he had averaged 42 points per game. He
missed six games and then returned to play with his right arm in a brace and a
chain to keep it in place. When he returned to action on January 31, he
used only his left arm and scored 26. He played the remainder of the
season injured and scored 37 in the state championship game.

games from 2000-06. He also scored 246 additional points while playing varsity
ball as a seventh grader and an eighth grader. (Credit: Scott Dudinskie,

Note 3: Dear wgaffey, I remember officiating a PIAA
game back in the late 70's, when a boy by the name of Bobby Zipko received a
game ball for scoring 2000pts. The same night another guy(from the home
team) was awarded a game ball for scoring 1000 points. The Zipko boy played for
G.A.R. High School in Wilkes Barre. Hope I helped in your keeping up with the
2000 point club. John Kashatus
Greg Procell of Noble Ebard (La) holds the national high school record with 6,702 points. (They played 70 to 80 games a year at that time-now there is limit on games in that state). He later played for Northwestern State in Natchitoches, La. and later became a professional fisherman on the Bassmasters circuit in La. and Texas. Greg scored 100 points in a high school game in 1970. His teammate, Walter Meshell scored the other 39 points in a 139-79 victory over Elizabeth High School. He averaged 46 points a game, a record that stood until 1982 when a kid named Bobby Joe Douglas AVERAGED 54.0 points a game for tiny Marion High School in Northern Louisiana. (Source credit: Douglas-emjack@eatel.net)
Terrelle Pryor - Jeannette - became a member of the 2,000 Point
club on Saturday January 26, 2008. In that same game he eclipsed 1,000
rebounds for his career as well. In addition he is the first WPIAL and maybe
PIAA player with 4,000+ yards rushing and 4,000+ yards passing in football.
