Colin Cook, a 16-year-old junior at Lawrence Academy has recorded the first known sextuple double. Cook had 28 points, 21 rebounds, 12 assists, 11 steals, 15 blocks and 11 turnovers in a 65-48 victory over inter-league rivals Roxbury Academy.

"I've never seen anyone so active in a game," said the Lawrence Spartans' head coach Mike Foley. "He's always been one of those guys who tries to get involved in every play but until now the turnovers were the only thing you could really count on."

"I just like to play," said a humble Cook, unlacing his Nike Air Max Hyperizers after the team's practice. "My teammates joke with me about the turnovers, but the rest of the record is pretty cool."

Lawrence Academy, the 10th oldest boarding school in the nation, plays for the Massachusetts Boarding School State Championship this Saturday.

The 11 turnovers is nothing to be proud of, but the rest of the stat line is insane.  11 steals and 15 blocks?!

Shouldn't it just be a quintuple double?

I mean, turnovers?   ???

Exactly.  To get a "Sextuple Double", shouldn't you have to copulate during the game?   ;D

Hmm...  Now that's a good question.  It was linked on the front page of ESPN, so I assume not, but looking at some of the links of the bottom of the page, maybe...

Okay, so I guess that's probably an unfunny April Fool's joke, if I had to guess.  Sorry about that...

At the same time, please join me in this rant about "legitimate" news sites posting April Fool's jokes.  What is this, the Onion?

How about mainstream sports sites posting April Fool's jokes AND blatant product placement?  From the link at the bottom all of Pg 2's April Fool stories are sponsored by and prominently feature Nikes.   At least The Onion hasn't sold out to Big Vidalia.
