Kentucky high school player Bol Kuir has 42 rebounds

BELFRY, Ky. (AP) — Belfry High School center Bol Kuir got on the boards early and often against Lawrence County, and that outstanding performance got him a place in the state record books as well. The 7-foot-3 junior had Kentucky’s second-best rebounding performance with 42 in Belfry’s 78-77, double-overtime victory over Lawrence County. Louisville’s Courier Journal reports that Kuir’s total ranks behind Russ Milton’s 48 boards in a 1957 game and just ahead of King “Kelly” Coleman’s 41 in 1956. The first-year basketball player from South Sudan also had 25 points and eight blocks in the contest.
