ORANGE COUNTY PREP BASKETBALL : Roundup : A Record Night for Brea as Egan Scores 56 and Cross Has 38 Assists

Carrie Egan of Brea-Olinda High School scored 56 points Tuesday night to set an Orange County single-game girls’ basketball record in a 119-26 Orange League victory over Anaheim at Brea.

Wildcat point guard Teresa Cross also had a record-breaking evening. Cross, usually a third-string player, had a Southern Section-record 38 assists, breaking the mark of 32 by Renee Overton of Riverside Poly in 1981-82.

Egan, a 5-foot 8-inch senior forward who will play at Cal Poly Pomona next season, scored 21 points in the first quarter, 33 in the second, and the record-breaking basket for her 56th point 15 seconds into the third quarter. That broke the county mark of 55 points, set by Magnolia’s Michelle Carter last season, also against Anaheim.

Egan was the only regular starter in Tuesday’s starting lineup for Brea. She came out of the game as soon as she set the record.

“I’m pretty excited,” she said. “Coach (Mark Trakh) told me before the game, ‘If you get hot, you’ve kind of earned it, and I’ll let you play.’ My teammates were really excited for me; it was a really neat feeling.”

Brea’s Teri Winder scored 27 points, a career high, and Denise Weiland had 16. Brea is 12-3.
