Abdou Toure ’26 Shatters ND Scoring Record with 49-Point Performance
In a game that will be remembered for years to come, Abdou Toure ’26 etched his name into the Notre Dame High School record books by dropping a jaw-dropping 49 points in a single game—setting a new school record for the most points scored by an individual in one contest.
From the opening tip-off, Toure was locked in. Whether he was driving to the basket with explosive speed or knocking down deep threes with ice in his veins, everything he touched turned to gold. His dominant performance electrified the crowd, with fans on their feet nearly every time he touched the ball.
“It felt like everything was just flowing,” Toure said after the game. “My teammates kept feeding me the ball, and the energy in the gym gave me the fuel to keep going.”
The previous school record—set years ago—stood at 45 points, a mark many believed would be nearly impossible to beat. But Toure not only surpassed it, he did so with style and composure beyond his years. The junior guard showcased his full offensive arsenal, finishing with an efficient mix of mid-range jumpers, aggressive finishes at the rim, and long-range daggers. He also added 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals, proving this wasn’t just a scoring outburst—it was a complete takeover.
Head Coach [Coach’s Name] couldn’t have been prouder. “Abdou’s been working day in and day out. He’s the first one in the gym and the last one to leave. What he did tonight wasn’t just talent—it was preparation, discipline, and belief. He deserved every one of those 49 points.”
As the game progressed, the buzz in the gym grew louder. With every bucket, the crowd realized they were witnessing something special. By the fourth quarter, chants of “MVP” echoed through the bleachers as Toure closed in on the record. And when he hit a contested three late in the game to push his total to 49, the gym erupted.
Beyond the numbers, Toure’s performance represented the heart and spirit of ND basketball. His teammates rallied around him, not only setting screens and delivering assists but celebrating every milestone along the way. It was a testament to a team that plays unselfishly and with purpose.
With this historic night, Abdou Toure not only lifted his team to a crucial win, but also cemented his legacy as one of the greatest to ever wear an ND uniform. And as only a junior, the sky is the limit.
“I’m honored to break the record,” Toure said with a smile. “But this is just the beginning. We’ve got big goals this season.”
If last night was any indication, Notre Dame—and the rest of the league—better be ready.
