Haworth (Oklahoma) boys basketball team sets state record for most 3-pointers in one game
On Friday night, the shots were definitely falling for the boys' basketball squad from Haworth, Okla.
In fact, the Lions set a state record for most shots from beyond the arc.
Haworth - located in the southeast corner of the state - launched 27 3-pointers in a 116-47 win against Foreman, Ark., which is just across the border from Haworth.
The Lions' 27 3's tied for sixth all-time in the NFHS record book and set a state record. The previous record for most 3's in an Oklahoma high school game was 26, set last season by Glencoe.
Ironically, the coach at Glencoe last season - Jeff Weedn - is now the first-year coach at Haworth.
In Friday's game, junior Zayne Clampet hit 11 3's - nine coming in the first half. Those 11 treys accounted for all of his 33 points, but he was not the team's top scorer.

That honor went to Jaxton Weedn, the coach's son, who finished with 36 points. He also converted seven 3's.
Kyren Matthews was also in double figures with 15 points - all coming courtesy of five 3's. Christian Smith added nine points, coming on three treys, while the Lions' other 3 came from Cole Clardy.
