STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Got scoring?<\/p>\n

Staten Island surely does and as it currently stands, there are 26 varsity high school basketball players who are averaging at least 10.0 points per game as of Thursday.<\/p>\n

Only two of the current scoring leaders average 20-plus points per game and not surprisingly, those players are 1-2 for the most points scored in one game during the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

And, by the way, the top two guys are only separated by 0.8 points.<\/p>\n

Two of the Island\u2019s 14 teams have three players apiece in the top 26 while eight others have at least two.<\/p>\n

Think you know who made the grade with less than two weeks left before the start of the 33rd annual SIHSL Tournament? Scroll down to see the Advance\/SILive.com\u2019s first list of the season, in descending order.<\/p>\n
