Although school records haven’t been meticulously kept during Liberty Christian’s 15-odd seasons of varsity basketball, Rudy Sass, the Minutemen’s coach since 1982, is certain Curto’s performance last week is unmatched. Tuesday, Curto set what was believed to be the school record of 46 points in an 87-69 Academy League victory over Cal Lutheran. Saturday, he broke that record, scoring 51 points in a 112-90 victory over Glendale Adventist, tying him for the 12th-best performance in Orange County history. Curto, who was leading the county in scoring before last week, made 68.3% of his shots from the field (41 of 60) and boosted his average to 28.1 points. “He’s just been very consistent in his output,” Sass said. “It just so happens that in the last two games he just exploded.”

Other top performers:
