Imagine scoring over 4,000 points in your high school career and not only are you not highest all-time scorer in your home state, you aren't even the highest scorer in your own family.
Such is the case for two sets of sisters on the MaxPreps Top 100 high school girls basketball scorers of all-time. The Antony sisters from Louisiana, Katie and Ashley, rank Nos. 1 and 15 all-time while the Strain sisters from Alabama, Courtney and Leah, rank Nos. 6 and 17 all-time.
Katie Antony is the all-time leading scorer in high school girls basketball history for 5-on-5 basketball (girls used to play 6-on-6). Her 6,190 point-total includes six seasons on the varsity at Anacoco, one of the smaller schools in Louisiana. Ashley has 4,706 points, all at Anacoco. However, her total does not include two seasons (her sixth and seventh grade years) at Pitkin.
Courtney Strain had 5,283 points in six seasons at Woodland (Ala.), a Class 2A school. Her younger sister Leah followed with 4,561 points in six seasons. Both played for their father Larry Strain.
The Antonys and the Strains are the only sisters on the all-time list, which includes all points scored at the varsity level, including points scored prior to ninth grade. The National Federation of High Schools record book does not include totals prior to ninth grade.
The Antonys and Strains play in two states that dominate the Top 100. Louisiana has 17 players on the list while the Alabama has 12. Mississippi and Minnesota each have nine while Kentucky and Texas each have eight, South Carolina has five, California has four and Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Missouri have three each.
Many on the list have gone on to noteworthy accomplishments. Nearly every player on the list played at the college level with many participating at the Division I level. About a dozen played in the WNBA and some have gone on to coach at the college level, including Kim Mulkey of Baylor, whose team is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation in the Coaches Poll.
The Top 100 is derived from a number of sources, including the NFHS record book, state association record books, independent state record books and the MaxPreps leaderboards/career state pages. If someone is missing from the list, please e-mail Kevin Askeland at kevinaskeland65@gmail.com.
