Ben Topp had a perfect night and his performance has landed him in Sports Illustrated’s iconic Faces in the Crowd.
Topp, a 6-7 junior forward at Hough High in North Carolina, set the state record for field goal perfection by going 19-for-19 from the field in a 68-51 victory against Kannapolis A.L. Brown on Feb. 2. He scored a school-record 39 points, well more than his average of about 10 per game.
Topp was also 1-for-1 from the free throw line for good measure.
The previous record was 18-for-18 by Wake Forest Rolesville’s Eric Williams in 2001.
