Foster Loyer scored a career high of 44 points in the Clarkston victory over Romulus, 74-52, Jan. 9, at the New Year’s Basketball Classic at the Detroit Renaissance High School.
The achievement was enough to place the point guard on the list of all time most points in a single Clarkston game, in fifth place.
This displaces head coach Dan Fife, who scored 43 points against West Bloomfield in 1967, from that spot. However, the longtime coach still holds the first-place slot, with 52 points in 1966-67, as well as second, sharing the honor with his son Dugan Fife, 49 points; sixth place with 43 points in 1967; and seventh, 42 points, in 1967.
Nick Tatu holds third place with 47 points in 2012. Tim McCormick holds the fourth-place spot with 45 points in 1979 and eighth place with 40 points in 1980.
