Go with:

"The previous record was 16+/-."
Could throw in a "more or less" or an "ish" to cover all the bases.
That way you're safe.

How about — The previous record was about 16.

;)
Found this in Illinois.. that state's record is 16; not sure if its a national record...

*[1.] 16, Andy Thomas, Sycamore vs. Geneva, Jan. 29, 1993 (16 of 29)

And in Kentucky, the record is 17
David DeMarcus of Sayre against Millersburg Millitary in 1989

I saw Chris Jackson (Gulfport, Miss.) hit nine 3-pointers in one quarter when he was in high school, including one on each of eight consecutive trips down the floor. The player guarding him, a state high jump champion in Louisiana, did everything he could, and Jackson still put the moves on him and got off the shot every time, each one seemingly on a higher arc than the previous.

no texas high school website with this info? hell, we got that in alabama.

There's only about 1,250 public high schools playing basketball in the state. No telling how many more private schools and home-school teams are out there, but I would expect the number to be at least half that, probably more.

Then there's the fact that basketball is still an afterthought -- if not a dirty word -- in much of the state.
 
Here is one paper's take on the Texas kid:

Also, I agree with pressboxer, trying to find any information on basketball in the state of Texas can be an utter disaster.
A lot of coaches don't even know their records and just want their teams to lose so they can get on to spring football already.

how can you have "home-school teams?"

don't home-schooled students generally play for the school in the district they would otherwise attend?

curious about that one

It's a screwy deal. Apparently they have their own little organization, but we did have one from the area play in a holiday tournament against UIL teams.

That was a very good read, thanks for finding that.

My understanding is that very few states allow home-schoolers to play for public school teams. In Texas, private schools are not allowed to compete in the public school organization.

And there are at least four different private school state-wide leagues in Texas, creating further confusion.

Kentucky was thinking of going the public-private route, but it won't pass. They came close to passing it last year (forget exactly how close), but the KHSAA board of control denied the move.

Agreed, excellent story.

Unfortunate how he got stabbed in the back by a young skeeza, too.
