Tiffany Tolbert has added her name to the Dr. Phillips High athletic record books.

Tolbert, a senior guard for the Panthers girls basketball team (7-7), scored a program-record 41 points for Dr. Phillips Dec. 31 against Apopka in the championship game of the Florida Prospects Holiday Tournament. The Panthers were ultimately defeated and placed second in the tournament.

Tolbert's mark topped the previous record — Mosetta Williams scored 36 points for Dr. Phillips in 1989 — by five points, per the Panthers' official Twitter account (@PantherZone).

Tolbert signed with the University of North Florida during the early signing period last fall.
