Lyon County star Travis Perry is Kentucky high school basketball’s new all-time scoring king.
Perry broke the record this afternoon at Rupp Arena during the Lyons 61-46 win over Newport.
The fans at Rupp gave Perry a standing ovation after he broke the record that was held for 67 years by the legendary “King” Kelly Coleman:
A standing ovation for Lyon County’s Travis Perry as he becomes the all-time leading scorer in KHSAA boys’ basketball history.
He’ll have at least one more game this week, and a whole senior season, in which to add to that feat. pic.twitter.com/ysJU6S43cX
