(January 18, 2017) — Dublin very likely broke its single-game scoring record Tuesday night.

The Lions torched Early 108-38, and it could have been worse with Dublin emptying its bench after amassing 89 points through three quarters and eventually holding the ball down the stretch in the fourth.

In checking around to see if the Lions have ever scored 100, longtime Dublin resident Pat Leatherwood, who says he hasn’t missed many games through the years and was on hand for Tuesday’s historic score fest, said talk around First National Bank Wednesday morning revealed one “possible” memory of a 104-point game involving the likes of Colt Carmichael and Bryan Lanting. That would have been in 2000 under then head coach Dodd Carmichael, Colt’s father.

Colt is now head girls coach at Hamilton, and a call to confirm the 100-point game was not immediately returned Wednesday.

But even if the Carmichael-led Lions of 2000 scored 104, nobody can remember a Dublin team netting 108.

Mike Jurney is a lifelong Dublin resident and 1975 DHS graduate who can recall a 96-point game in his high school days, but never more than that.

Former Dublin standout Jonathan Pringle, son of past head coach Pringle, played on a regional tournament team along with past Dublin and Tarleton big-man Jakob Damstra, but Jonathan says that group of Lions never scored more than 92.

Lots of people can remember 90 point outings, even some earlier this season in the run-and-gun style of second-year head coach Will Parker. But nobody remembers a Lion team scoring 108.

Senior Brady Moore and junior Rayce Jackson combined for 55 points with Moore netting 30 along with six rebounds, six steals and four assists and Jackson scoring 25 with eight steals and four assists, but they weren’t the only Lions filling it up on a night when Dublin shot a blistering 63.8 percent from the floor including 15-26 (57.7 percent) from the arc.

Jeremiah Martinez scored 15 by going 5-8 from 3, and Josh Hanes also had 15 points while dealing nine assists and swiping nine steals. Juan Pablo Garcia scored seven while Gabe Garcia, Trask Brown, Brayden Burleson and Elton Galbreath each had four. Gabe Garcia also tallied four assists and eight steals, while Burleson grabbed five rebounds and dished out four assists.

Dublin brings its uptempo style back home Friday, and each Friday throughout the remainder of the regular season. On deck this Friday at about 7:45 p.m. is a 6-3A battle with Brady, following the varsity girls.
