See the best action from the 2019-2020 season.

Kayla McPherson of Madison County (Danielsville, Ga.) is one of the top juniors in the country, fielding calls and texts from some of the most prominent college coaches in the country. So it shouldn't be a surprise that she has produced two of the top single-game performances over the past two seasons.

The leading scorer in the country this year at 37 points per game, McPherson scored 63 points in a game against Stephens County. Last year as a sophomore, McPherson did one better, scoring 64 points in a win over Hart County.

Beginning with McPherson's efforts the past two years, we tracked the highest single game scoring total in every season since 1923 below. The list would not be possible without the research of Paul Luchter and his website luckyshow.org. The site is a wealth of information about high school, college, semi-pro and professional sports.

Girls basketball has a different history than the boys game in that it was a six-player game for most of its history until the mid-1970s when it switched over to a five-player game. Some pockets of the country continued to use the six-player format until the early 1990s. In the six-player format, players were restricted to certain parts of the court. Additionally, players were not allowed to block shots. As a result, individual players were able to run up huge point totals on a regular basis. It wasn't uncommon for the top scorers to average over 50 points per game.



For this list, MaxPreps presents the top single-game total for each season. From 1973 to 1993, we provide the top five-player single-game score and the top six-player single-game score since both games were being played during this stretch.
