72 Points

The football team at Smith Center High School in Smith Center, Kansas, scored 72 points in the first quarter of a game last night which it won 86-0. The Salina, Kansas, Journal says Smith Center forced six turnovers in the first quarter as it racked up what is believed to be a record for points in a quarter by a high school team. The paper said the previous record was 66 set in Arizona by Prescott High School in 1925. Smith Center has outscored its opponents 640-0 so far this season. That includes a 69-0 win earlier this year over Plainville High, the same team it beat last night.

I saw this on espn.com. Here is a quote from the coach in the article: "he told his players after a second-quarter score that no one else would be crossing into the end zone. If a player got close to the goal line, Barta said, he was to fall at the 5-yard line"
