Bruin state scoring record broken
A state scoring record was set back in 1991 when Blackford
defeated Wabash in overtime, 124-122. It marked the most points ever in a
game as the two conference foes combined for 246 points. Memorabilia
from the game, including the game ball, was
sent to the Indiana High School Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle to
be put on display.
That 20-year old record was broken last weekend and Wabash was once again involved. The Apaches defeated Southwood, 126-123, in triple overtime.
The two teams now top the all-time list of every basketball game ever played in high school in Indiana in four categories: combined points, points scored in a losing effort, points scored in overtime and combined points in overtime, according to several sources.
That was the year the Bruins put a high-flying, high-scoring offense out and produced numerous 100 point games early in the season and led the state in offensive average. That night 1991 BHS grad Ryan Taylor also set the single-game scoring record for BHS at the time with 47 points.
A member of that team also and part of that record-setting night is current Bruin coach and 1991 graduate Dave Marshall.
“246 points in that game was a lot. That’s a record I didn’t think would ever be broken. But it stood for 20 years,” Marshall said on learning of the news. “It was an exciting game and I was glad to be a part of it. I’m sure the Wabash and Southwood kids are as excited as we all were.“
Wabash has been involved in four of the top 10 games for most combined points, and the Central Indiana Conference has been represented in four of the top 10.

An interesting fact was the scorekeeper for Wabash was the
same one who kept book and watched the record set 20 years ago in
Blackford’s gymnasium.
