Robles also passed Alex Walker to become the school’s all-time leading scorer. Walker scored 1,478 points from 2009-13. Robles now sits at 1,488 points.
However, Robles wasn’t the only record-breaker Friday. Jason Leek dished out 12 assists, setting a new HCA mark. It was part of his stat line that included 10 points.
As for the game, Heritage Christian used a 26-3 start and never looked back, hitting 55-percent from the field while Grace Christian hit just 17-percent.
