West Hill vs R.H. King – Denham Brown Scores 111 Points

Is it really possible to score 111 points in a single game? Maybe…and maybe the right player can score even higher. Denham Brown, a high school student at Scarborough’s West Hill Collegiate Institute, was 6-foot-6 and versatile: he could play guard and forward with strength, speed, skill, and shooting range. When he learned West Hill was ineligible for the league’s playoffs in 2002, Brown decided to close his high school career with a flourish against R.H. King Academy. His official 111 points remains a record, and a testament to the difference between a future NBA player and everybody else. Years later, Brown told the Scarborough Mirror that the score keeper had miscounted, and he had actually scored 113 points.
