Peach State's postseason gets off to a wild start as a pair of Class AAAAAA programs combine for 247 points.
What a way to kick off the Georgia high school basketball state tournament.
Sequoyah (Canton) and
Paulding County (Dallas) combined for 247 points during their first-round contest in GHSA's
Class AAAAAA state tournament Tuesday night. Sequoyah won in regulation,
135-112.
It is the highest-scoring boys basketball game in the country this season, according to the national MaxPreps database. Sequoyah's 135 points are also the most a team has scored in a game this season and
set a school record.
Sequoyah scored 37 points in the first, third and fourth quarters, and added 24 in the second. The Chiefs led 61-51 at halftime.
Paulding County countered with outputs of 33 points apiece in the second and third quarters, 28 in the fourth, and had 18 in the first.
Sequoyah has scored more than 90 points six times this season, including reaching the 100-point mark in a Jan. 14 win of
Johns Creek (Johns Creek, Ga.). This was the fourth time Paulding County has scored more than 90 points this season.
