Pensacola Catholic (Pensacola, Fla.), 1967-71
Known as "Sudden" Sam, McCants led Pensacola Catholic to a Class 1A state championship, scoring 51 points in the semifinals and 48 in the championship game. He finished his career as the all-time leading scorer in the state (since broken).

99. 3,329 — Dan Vander Woude
Seton (Manassas, Va.), 1984-88
Listed by Virginia historian Marshall Johnson with 3,329 points (although the Washington Post once listed him with 3,738 points), Vander Woude had 1,265 points as a senior for a 37.2 point average. The all-time leader in Virginia, but not the VHSL leader since Seton School was not a VHSL member.

100. 3,325 — Clem Haskins
Taylor County (Campbellsville, Ky.), 1962-63
A longtime coach at Minnesota and a 10-year NBA veteran, Haskins played two years at all-black Durham before becoming the first black player to play at Taylor County, which he did for two years.

100. 3,325 — Ricky Capello
Edcouch-Elsa (Edcouch, Texas), 1980-83
Scored 1,104 points his senior year. Played for his father Robert, who had 1,004 wins in 51 years of coaching.

Others: Al Jefferson of Prentiss (Miss.) reportedly had "over 4,000 points" when he graduated in 2004. Justin Jackson of HCYA (Houston) played over 220 games in his career and scored 1,259 points as a senior, but his career total is unknown. It could be as high as 5,000 points. To that end, there are a number of HomeSchool players who compete in a high number of games each year (over 50) and are not accounted for. Likewise, Class B and C players from Louisiana have been known to play 60-70 games in a season and there could be dozens of players with over 3,000 points that are unaccounted for. Some include Terry Martin of Shady Grove (circa 1980) and Gene Gormsen of Mansura (1968-1971), both of whom reportedly scored "over 3,500" but their exact totals are unknown.
