Top 100 single-season scorers in high school football history

As a junior at Sheridan (Ind.) in 1988, Law was the team's leading rusher and kicker during a 14-0 season under legendary coach Bud Wright. He rushed for 55 touchdowns, scored a total of 66, kicked 54 extra points and one field goal for 453 total points. He scored 34 points in the championship game alone to set a state record. At the end of the season, he was the Class 1A state Player of the Year and made first team as both a running back and kicker.

The first threat to Law's record came 12 years later and just 60 miles away in Attica (Ind.). Josh Smith, an all-around athlete who averaged 24 points per game in basketball while leading Attica to a Class 1A state title, rushed for 3,004 yards during the season and scored 449 points. He had a chance to break Law's record in a Class 1A championship game loss to Adams Central, but Attica's fourth-quarter drive ended at the 3-yard line. Smith, who went on to a stellar football career at Navy, finished with 63 touchdowns, 25 extra points and 23 two-point conversions.

In 2011, Joseph Sadler of Devine (Texas) closed to within 12 points of Law's record after he scored 50 points in a 56-42 playoff win over Wharton. He scored seven touchdowns, two 2-point conversions and six extra points to give him 441 points on the year.

However, in the state quarterfinals against Wimberley, Sadler had one touchdown, and extra point and a field goal in a 38-12 loss.

Law went on to set a national record (since broken) with 952 career points by scoring 43 touchdowns and 297 points his senior year, which ended in a second straight Class 1A championship.
