California high school basketball player LaMelo Ball scored 92 points in a game for Chino Hills on Tuesday.

The younger brother of current UCLA player Lonzo Ball, LaMelo, a UCLA commit, collected 41 points in the fourth quarter to get the country  talking.

So we wondered: How would that rank in Ohio history?

According to Ohio High School Athletic Association records, Dick Bogenrife of Sedalia Midway holds the record with 120 points against Canaan on Feb. 6, 1953. He is one of 24 players credited with scoring at least 65 points in a single game in state history.
