30 points in an 80-63 win tonight. He certainly knows how to put the ball in the basket, which is an important skill in this game.

Maybe one day we will have a team roster with only two last names . . . Butler and Niego.

Orange-and-white knockoffs of the Indiana warmup pants? Speaking of Indiana, they took those candy stripes and put them on the sleeves of their football jersies this year (for at least one game). They looked pretty sharp.

Does anyone have any insight into the competition A. Butler is facing? Here's a link to the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association website. Schools are classified from "A" to "AAAAAA" with 6A being the highest classification. Greater Latrobe is one of 22 6A schools of the 131 schools in District 7. With 504 males in the school it is a smaller 6A school. Statewide 120 of 700+ schools are 6A. Maybe someone can explore the site more and get a better feel for the level of play, e.g. by seeing if District 7 champions fare well in the state championship tournament www.piaa.org/MaxPreps has Greater Latrobe ranked #8 in the state if I am reading the rankings correctly. This site has a "strength of schedule" element and you can see that the Philadelphia schools, of course, have a much higher SOS. Among the Top 20 6A schools, Greater Latrobe has 10th highest SOS--right in the middle of the pack. Lowest rated schedule is 2.7 for Trinity (Camp Hill) at 2.7 and highest is Neumann-Goretti of Philadelphia at 20.1. Latrobe's schedule is rated 9.5 www.maxpreps.com/rankings/basketball/1/state/pennsylvania.htm

Appears to be a little better comp than I had feared after watching some of the highlights on his Hudl page. Always difficult to try and gauge how plays will translate to the college game without knowing the competition.

The HC students could take a lesson from the Latrobe students.

Quite an accomplishment! Have we had many players in the past who held their high school scoring record?

We have had a lot of great players from New York. Here's a link to the NY HS scoring records where, at a quick glance, you see recognizable names like Kenny Anderson, Sebastian Telfair, and Jimmer Fredette towards the top of the list. I'll look further and see if there are any Crusaders on it www.roadtoglensfalls.com/reference/records-scoring-career.shtmlHere's a list of 2,000 point scorers from Massachusetts. Note that the top 3 scorers from Catholic Memorial are all Crusaders: RP JR, scoring champ as Hoops noted, Ron Texeira, and King Gaskins www.telegram.com/article/20100825/news/1240668

Tom Palace (Don Bosco Prep, NJ) all time leading Bergen County, NJ scorer when recruited by Holy Cross back in the 1960s. It never really worked out.

More recently, Joe O'Shea? Let's hope AB scores many more in purple than Joe.
