After surpassing LeBron James' record, Quinn Kwasniak is now on track to score over 3,000 points in his high school career. Only former Ohio State guard Jon Diebler and Division II West Liberty star Jon Rasile have crossed that 3,000-point threshold.

Kwasniak is also on track to break Diebler's record of 3,208 points.

LeBron James is highly revered in Ohio, making Quinn Kwasniak's achievement even more significant. Following his record-breaking performance for Cornerstone Christian, Kwasniak was presented with a replica jersey, which he discussed after the game.

“Coach Danny Schikowski gave me a LeBron high school jersey, which was cool,” Kwasniak told local newspaper the Willoughby News-Herald. “My favorite teacher, Mr. O’Keefe, loves LeBron, so he was all into it. It was also really nice of the Open Door coach to let them stop the game and he even prayed with us after. My poppa and him were friends so that was special.”

In addition to approaching the all-time scoring record in Ohio, Kwasniak is also nearing the record for the most three-pointers made. Currently holding the second-highest total at 465, he needs just 21 more to surpass Rasile's record of 485.
