First off, Pistol Pete averaged over 44 points a game in his three seasons at LSU. So any 5-year attempt to break his scoring mark has a massive COVID-driven asterisk next to it. But it is a cool story this week to follow as Detroit Mercy's Antoine Davis attempts to break the record at the Horizon League Tourney.
Did you know that Davis is a product of the same homeschool team as Jesse & John Caleb Sanders as well as Jonathan Jackson's big bother Justin who was recently traded by the Celtics to the Thunder? If fact, the Sanders' dad coached Antoine for HCYA here in Houston. Antoine's dad was at Texas Southern before moving up to Detroit Mercy as head coach following Antoine's senior season in Houston.
I remember seeing him play for HCYA back when my son was on another homeschool team across town. Back then, HCYA always managed to find Division I caliber kids and pretty much smacked around the local public schools before district play would start. My son faced him a few times back when he was in high school and could get off the bench. My daughter played against his sister before she decided she was more interest in equestrian than hoops. Small world.
