PIERCE CITY HEAD COACH T.J. DICKINSON SAID, "WHEN HE'S IN A RHYTHM YOU JUST LET HIM GO."

BETTER THAN 24 POINTS A NIGHT, PIERCE CITY'S DIETRICK SOOTER RANKS AS ONE OF MISSOURI'S MOST PROLIFIC SCORERS. BUT ON TUESDAY NIGHT, SOOTER MADE HISTORY WITH ONE OF THE STATES ALL-TIME GREATEST GAMES.

SOOTER SAID, "I TOLD COACH I'M FEELING 50 TONIGHT AND I WAS DEAD SERIOUS."

AFTER MISSING HIS FIRST 2 SHOTS, IT BEGAN.

"COACH STREET TELLS ME ONCE I MISS ONE YOU'RE 0 FOR 0 EVERY SHOT, SO THAT WAS THE MENTALITY. ONE WENT IN AND THE REST STARTED FALLING."
FIVE 3'S BY THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER. THEN CAME 6, 7, 8, 9, AND WITH LESS THAN A MINUTE IN THE HALF A RECORD BREAKING 10TH 3 POINTER.

DICKINSON SAID, "WOW, HE'S GOT A SHOT AT SOMETHING SPECIAL. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, UNBELIEVABLE."

SOOTER CLOSED THE GAME WITH 14 SECOND HALF POINTS...AN EVEN 50 FOR THE GAME, JUST LIKE HE PREDICTED.

"I'M A COMPETITOR, HATE TO LOSE. EVEN IF A GUY IS BIGGER THAN ME I'M GONNA GO AT HIM."

"HE BRINGS SO MANY INTANGIBLES. HE'S 5-9, BUT HE HAS THE HEART OF A GUY THAT'S 6-9."

DIETRICK SOOTER IS THIS WEEKS WENDY'S HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETE OF THE WEEK.
