The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) record book shows Alfred Griggs of Exeter High School in California scoring 18 points in a 1915 game, having made 15 of 17 extra point attempts and one field goal. By their count, that puts Griggs seventh all-time among high school players behind the leader, who scored 27 points in a game. The question is whether Griggs scored 45 points in a game or if the NFHS account is correct.
