72-0...In Just the 1st Quarter!!!

Smith Center High School (KS) played a first quarter for the ages on Tuesday night in the opening round of the Kansas state high school football 2A playoffs.

The three-time defending 2A champs scored 72 points in the first twelve minutes on the way to an 83-0 win over Plainville. The 72 first quarter points is believed to be a national record for points in a quarter. According to published reports, the previous record was 66 points by Prescott High in Arizona back in 1925.

The first quarter explosion was set-up by six Plainville turnovers. The Smith Center coaching staff didn't try to run-up the score in this one, as it began sitting its starters midway through the first quarter.

Plainville isn't the only team that's had a tough time with Smith Center this year. Including Tuesday's game, Smith Center has now outscored its opponents 640-0.
