"It was paparazzi time on Tuesday night at the old Morningside High gymnasium, where more than 20 photographers stationed themselves on the baseline trying to capture the moment Jason Crowe Jr. of Inglewood set the state record for career scoring by a high school basketball player. Think Chino Hills days with the Ball brothers and Sierra Canyon days with Bronny James to bring out the cameras en masse."
"It happened at the outset of the third quarter against Beverly Hills, which Inglewood defeated 112-75. After scoring 24 points in the first half when Inglewood took a 57-32 lead, Crowe made two free throws on a technical called at the end of the second quarter, then made a three with 7:51 left in the third quarter to break the record. The game was halted briefly to present a special basketball honoring the occasion."
Jason Crowe Jr. set the California high school career scoring record, surpassing Tounde Yessoufou's 3,659 points while scoring 51 points as Inglewood beat Beverly Hills 112-75. The record-breaking three came early in the third quarter after Crowe had 24 first-half points and two technical free throws; the game stopped so a commemorative basketball was presented. Crowe is a 6-foot-4 senior and Missouri commit who has averaged over 35 points per season since debuting as a 14-year-old freshman. Winning a Division V state championship remains his top accomplishment.
