LOUIE SNELLER'S SPORT RECORD STANDS UNBEATEN

 

On the night of January 18, 1955 Doon High School's 6 feet 7 inch Louie Sneller became the holder of the official state scoring record for a single basketball game. He still holds that record (1992). Sneller scored 31 field goals and nine free throws for 71 points against Larchwood to beat the previous record holder, Clarence Shera of Tiffin, Iowa. In 1938 he sank 34 field goals and two free throws (before the bonus rule.)
