NEW ALBANY – New Albany’s Romeo Langford nearly broke his own single-game
school scoring record last Saturday at The Doghouse.
Langford scored 47 points to lead the Class 4A No. 1
Bulldogs past visiting Evansville Harrison 96-59. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard moved
up to 18th on the Indiana boys’ career scoring list. Langford now
has 2,198 career points and is 936 points behind recordholder Damon Bailey, who
played at Bedford North Lawrence.
Langford shot 16-of-24 from the field, 4-of-9 from 3-point
range and 11-of-13 from the free-throw line. The 6-foot-5 senior guard
completed a double-double with a team-high 12 rebounds. Langford also had six
assists, four blocked shots and three steals.
Senior guard Sean East chipped in 19 points on 7-of-10
shooting, five assists and four steals for the Bulldogs (3-0). Teammate Darin
Starks scored 13 points.
New Albany will visit Floyd County rival Floyd Central (3-0)
at 7:30 p.m. Friday. It will be the Hoosier Hills Conference opener for both
teams.
