South Carolina signee Trae Hannibal scores 62 in final high school game
Trae Hannibal’s final high school game was one for the record books.
The Hartsville senior and South Carolina signee went for school-record 62 points but it still wasn’t enough as the Red Foxes lost to Wilson, 97-92 in overtime in Class 4A Lower State semifinals on Wednesday. Hannibal also grabbed 20 rebounds in the game, which was moved to Wednesday after the backboard was broken during warmups Tuesday.
Hannibal’s 62 points are fifth most in a baskrtball game in South Carolina High School League history. Midway’s Kenneth Robinson holds the state record with 108 points in a game back in 1961. Hannibal’s point total is the most in a SC High School game since former Gamecock Devan Downey scored 67 in 2005.
Former Gamecock Larry Davis has the state’s fourth-highest single-game total with 64 points in 1991.
Hannibal, the Class 4A co-Player of the Year, finished his career with 1,552 points.
