Jamicah Humphrey drains 52, aims for college as next step

Darius Goodman / Tallapoosa Publishers Jamicha Humphrey put up 52 points in a game to help propel the Tigers to the Sweet 16, but there’s a little bit more to the young athlete who’s next goal is college.

It’s uncommon to have a player knock down 30 points in a game, it’s uncommon to have any high schooler drain 40; but it’s very rare for a player to notch 52 points and keep his team’s postseason hopes alive.

During sub-regional play, the Tigers were kept alive by Jamicah Humphrey dropping 52 points in an 86-80 victory over Talladega. The Tigers were newly-minted into 5A play this season after a reclassification and produced another solid season.
