Who were the top scorers in high school basketball? South Sound boys and girls scoring leaders

Timberline boys basketball player Erik Stevenson, right, and Wilson's Emmitt Matthews Jr. both played on the same AAU basketball team this offseason and enter their senior seasons as two of the most recruited players in a long time from the South Sound. Stevenson is committed to Wichita State, one of the top-ranked college teams in the country, and Matthews to UConn, which has won four national championships. But they are also good friends, though also competitors.
