(Free Press said DeWayne Rogers scored 56 (in a season’s end story) versus Detroit Benedictine. I need to find it in print, before I remove the asterisk for our website. Hoover DOES believe Rogers.)

(**-University of Memphis website claims Chris Douglass-Roberts high school high was 54.  On January 31, 2008, Coach Robert Shannon, who coached Douglass-Roberts at Cass Tech, confirms this performance did not occur when he was a Technician.  Still researching.)

(****Still researching claims that Steve Hall scored 46 against Pontiac Central during the 1987-88 season and that Steve Hall hit 40 at Cass Tech against Murray-Wright in February of that same season.  Still researching a claim that Steve Hall scored 44 or 47 vs. Grand Rapids Union in a tournament in Kalamazoo.)
