According to the IHSAA's website, Mantis' career high is the highest scoring output of any boys basketball player in the state this season.
"That zone is something that you can't really describe. You're blocking out everything and you're just focused on one thing: winning," Mantis said. "When the ball was in my hands, I felt like no one could guard me. Every time I shot it, it felt like it was going in."
The 6-foot-7 guard shot 19 of 30 from the field, 8 of 11 on 3-pointers and 7 of 7 at the free-throw line to surpass Lowell's previous single-game scoring record of 50 points by 2011 grad Austin Richie.
