Katie Antony is the all-time leading scorer in high school girls' basketball history for 5-on-5 basketball (girls used to play 6-on-6) and the only high school girls' basketball player ever to score 6,000 points in a career.[5] Her 6,190 point total includes six seasons on the varsity at Anacoco. She was a five-time first-team all-state player in Louisiana and a four-time all-state Most Valuable Player. She played at Vanderbilt and later transferred to LSU. She made the McDonald's All-American Team and was the Gatorade State Player of the Year. Katie stopped playing basketball in college while at LSU to concentrate on her degree in medicine.[6]
