Dixon 65; Charleston 56
Dixon’s Darius Harrington is shattering the individual scoring records for the tournament.
He set the single game record with his 36-point performance against Lawrenceville in Friday’s first game and has now set a new four-game tournament record – and he’s only played three.
Harrington scored 35 points – giving him 102 in just three games – to lead the Dukes to a 65-56 decision over Charleston.
The old single game scoring record was shared by Mitchell Stevenson (Altamont in 2017) and Justin Guernsey (Pleasant Plains in 2019). Both scored 35 points in a contest.
The four-game tournament record was 97 points. That was set by Effingham’s Landon Wolfe in 2017.
