Kell’s Grant Bryant broke two school records when he scored 50 points and grabbed 35 rebounds in the Longhorns’ 94-93 overtime victory against Osborne in a Region 7-AAAAA game Tuesday night.

Bryant made 18 field goals and was 14-for-20 on free throws, according to a report in the Marietta Daily Journal.
