LSA Basketball Records - Boys

Listed are the records for LSA STATE championships from 1985 to 2010.  In 1994, the LSA adopted the three point line rule.  These records only pertain to the LSA STATE tournament and does not include play-in games.  All of the information is taken from the top ten or fifteen scorers for each year.  It is possible, but not probable, that an individual might have the requirements to be on a list and not be listed in these records.  For information on a particular year, go back to the main girls' grade school basketball page.  Click here for a printable version.
