All-time leading high school boys basketball scorers in all 50 states

All-time scoring leaders come in all shapes and sizes, as evidenced by the MaxPreps list of the top all-time high school boys basketball scoring leaders from each state.

There are the NBA All-Stars, like Kevin Love of Lake Oswego (Ore.) and Lou Williams of South Gwinnett (Ga.), and there are the players from tiny towns like Josh Delawder of Paw Paw (W.Va.) and Dantley Walker of Lincoln County (Panaca, Nev.).

There are also players who've only held the record for a short while, like Joe Girard III of Glens Falls, who set the state record in New York as a junior and continues to put it out of reach as a senior. There is also B.J. Burries of Hayden, who set the state record in Arizona last week.
