Posted on: December 16, 2023

Updated 12/16 @ 4 p.m. to add the game score and the previous record holder Hugh Gnatzig’s reported graduation year.

Sophomore Casey Lyon broke the school record Friday night, December 15, for single-game scoring in a Boys’ Basketball Game at Whitewater High School. Casey made 18 of 19 free throws and seven 3-pointers.

Not only did Lyon score 47 points to surpass Hugh Gnatzig [per the Jefferson County Daily Union, a ’70 grad] for a single game, but the Whippets got their first win [84-76] over East Troy since the 2004-2005 season! History was made on a cold Friday night in Whitewater!
