Windermere Prep boys basketball player Brandon Bass Jr. set a new program record for single-game points, scoring 43 against Centennial High in a 76-67 home win Jan. 4.

Bass Jr., one of the most sought recruits in the state of Florida, has seen his production take another leap as a junior — averaging a career-high in points (22.4), rebounds (8.2) and assists (2.1).

This sort of production isn't new for the four-star college basketball prospect, who holds offers from UCF, USC, Illinois, Purdue, and others. He's been the Lakers' leading scorer since his freshman season and has led them to back-to-back appearances in the state championship games.

After passing the 1,000-points scored mark last season, halfway through his junior campaign, he's scored a total of 1,602 points. With about a season-and-a-half left in his high school career, it's likely that the son of former NBA player Brandon Bass Sr. will surpass the 2,000-points-scored milestone sometime in his senior year.
