Video: Chloe Briggs' highlights Watch perhaps the nation's top freshman score 43 points vs. Notre Dame.
Three of the most dynamic and productive players in the country lead the MaxPreps scoring leaderboard.
Kayla McPherson, a 5-foot-7 junior guard from Madison County (Danielsville, Ga), Julianna Walker, a 5-5 junior guard from Annie Wright (Tacoma, Wash.), and 5-11 Ontario Christian (California.) freshman Chloe Briggs have put up not only massive scoring numbers, but they've also kept statisticians very busy with big numbers in other categories.
McPherson leads the country with a 36.3 scoring average but also averages 7.0 assists, 7.1 rebounds and 6.0 steals per game. She scored 63 points in an 81-79 loss to Stephenson and has scored at least 40 in eight of her team's 22 games.
Walker is second in the nation with a 34.9 scoring average to go along with 7.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 7.4 steals per game. She's made a remarkable 116 3-pointers and equally impressive, she shoots 93 percent from the foul line.
Briggs has had a fantastic freshman season by averaging 34.7 points, 12.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 5.5 steals per game for Ontario Christian. She had a 50-point game this season.
Briggs is the only freshmen among the Top 25 scorers in the nation. The other classes are seniors (8), juniors (10), sophomores (4) and eighth-graders (2).
