JEFF YODER SPORTS CO-EDITOR

A 5-foot, 10-inch, 170-pound guard named Jack Taylor made history over Thanksgiving Break. A year ago he was playing lacrosse at the University of Wisconsin. Photographs by Timothy P. Riethmiller Photographs by Timothy P. Riethmiller Now he holds the NCAA basketball scoring record for most points in a game with 138. Taylor, a sophomore at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, netted a jaw-dropping 138 points against Faith Baptist Bible College on Tuesday, Nov. 20. Grinnell took down Faith Baptist Bible 179-104 in a game that was more of a circus than a legitimate contest. The first thing you need to know about the Grinnell Pioneers is that they have led the NCAA in scoring 17 of the past 19 years. Grinnell head coach David Arsenault runs a system where the team scraps for steals at a rapid pace and shoots within 12 seconds of each possession. Their roster is 15 deep and they substitute a new five players every 30 seconds to keep everyone moving at lightning pace. The Pioneers are averaging 134 points per game while giving up 109 with their high-risk high-reward play. With Jack Taylor “struggling” to shoot the ball in the team’s first two games, the game plan against Faith Baptist was to get him going. Taylor ball-hogged his way through the first half, thinking he had racked up about 30 points. It was Photographs by Timothy P. Riethmiller Photographs by Timothy P.

Taylor said. “You could see the team’s eyes light up.” The rest of the team knew about Griffin Lentsch’s 89-point performance for Grinnell just over a year ago. With the game already in hand and no mercy in mind for Faith Baptist, Taylor continued to play and shoot. By the final buzzer, he had shattered the old NCAA record of 113 points held by Bevo Francis of

Taylor shot 48 percent from the floor, going 52-for- 108 total and 27-for-71 from the 3-point line. He also grabbed an impressive three rebounds in the game.
