Robbie Lemons is not the perfect kid, OK? Like most 17-year-olds, the nation's leading prep basketball scorer and Sacramento Country Day School standout has issues.

Sometimes he forgets to make his bed. He remembers getting a B in elementary school once, tarnishing a straight-A academic history. He agrees to a trim, he says, only when his father threatens to "tie ribbons" in his spiked hair...

Robbie Lemons is a senior at Sacramento Country Day School in his fourth season of varsity basketball.

A precociously talented Lemons also played four years for Country Day's middle school team. How? He played from fifth through eighth grade. As Lemons recalls, he has played basketball since he was very young.

Through his Division V team's first 13 games this season, Lemons is not just leading the 11-2 Cavaliers with 36.8 points per game. Lemons leads the nation – among scorers who have played at least 10 games – according to maxpreps.com...

Robbie Lemons is making Stanford happy

Robbie Lemons, Sacramento Country Day High, is in 'you-can't-stop-him, let-alone-contain-him mode' so far this season. The Stanford-commit just produced a double-double of 43 points and 15 boards versus Dunsmuir -- on 20-23 shooting.

Against Redding Christian earlier, Lemons' line was 43 points (again), 15 boards and nine assists -- just missing a triple-double.

He also totaled 26 points in another contest.

Lemons has his own site -- go here to read the various features on him plus videos and his academic achievements. This is something other players should emulate, especially the 'contact' section of Lemons' site.

Robbie Lemons to Stanford

Sacramento Country Day backcourter Robbie Lemons has agreed to become a recruited walk-on at Stanford.

The 6-foot-3 Lemons led the Sacramento area in scoring last season and his basketball skills combined with his academics caught more than the attention of the Cardinal.

He is one of the underrated players in northern California, with marvelous shooting skills and the type of basketball IQ that goes over the head of the average fan watching him play.

Congrats to Robbie for quite the achievement and we look forward to watching him play for the Cardinal.
