Senior guard Paige Robinson added another accolade to her high school basketball resume.

During the game against Cumberland at home Saturday, Robinson, at the top of the OV’s zone defense, stole the ball with 3:41 left in the first quarter and drove the ball for a layup and scored with 3:36 to set Okaw Valley’s all-time scoring record.

“Paige is very deserving of breaking the record,” said OV coach Brad Ackers. “She is the best scorer of the basketball that I have ever been around, male or female.”

Robinson surpassed the old record of 1,851 held by Tracy Yantis. Paige finished Saturday’s game with 1,863 points.

Yantis’ 2004-05 team finished 28-1 but was upset in the regional by Central A&M.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
