Benzie Central's Hubbell breaks U.S. high school single-game goals record-
“BENZONIA — Not even 10 minutes into the game and Kevin Hubbell was well on his way to history.
Hubbell, the Benzie Central senior soccer star, scored 16 goals in the Huskies' 17-0 win over Kingsley at home Wednesday.
Hubbell's performance broke a 19-year-old U.S. high school record previously held by Dale Self of Sumter, South Carolina with 14 goals in a game in 2002, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. The Michigan record was held by Karl Trost of Cheboygan who scored 10 goals in a game against East Jordan in 2003.
"I'm still shocked about it," Hubbell said.
Hubbell fired eight in the back of the net by the 10th minute, two shy of Trost's state record (which Hubbell was initially going for). At that point Benzie Central coach Chris Batchelder made Hubbell aware of another record the senior star was nearing.
"Coach looks at me and says 'The national record is 14,'" Hubbell said. "I was like 'Wow. This might come true. I might beat the national record.'"
