High school girls basketball: Game, season and career scoring leaders in every state

California is home to some of the greatest high school girls basketball players in history, including Cheryl Miller, Lisa Leslie, Diana Taurasi, Sabrina Ionescu and this year's MaxPreps National Player of the Year JuJu Watkins. So which one holds the state record for highest single-season scoring average? The answer is none of the above.

That belongs to Audrey Harris, who averaged 46.3 for Faith Christian (Yuba City) in 2022. Her mark is one of 200 records MaxPreps has compiled as part of a list of the scoring leaders in each state. Harris's place on the list shows that it's not always the most highly recruited or widely renowned players who set state records.

That's not to say that there aren't prominent names among the 200 records listed. Two-time WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne makes the list twice in Delaware while Women's Basketball Hall of Fame members Anne Donovan of New Jersey, Jackie Stiles of Kansas and Miller in California also make the list.

The list for each state includes single-game scoring mark, single season high point total, most career points and higest single-season scoring average. A total of eight players own all four records in their state, including Tracy Lis of Connecticut, Kayla Lambert of Montana, Ivory Latta of South Carolina, Adrian McGowen of Texas, Teya Sidberry of Utah, Christy Cooper of West Virginia, Megan Gustafson of Wisconsin and Stiles in Kansas.

Sources for the state records include the National Federation of High Schools record book, state association record books, The Cal-Hi Sports Record Book by Mark Tennis and Nelson Tennis, Minnesota High School Basketball Records, Buddy Collings of the Orlando Sentinel, Bob Springer's Texas Basketball Records, Doug Calvert, Larry Moultin and Mal Van Meer of Oregon high school records, Aaron Hill of Hazen (Vt.), Tommy D'Angelo of Rhode Island High School Sports, Chuck Langerman in New Jersey and IWasAtTheGame in Oklahoma.
