Dubious HS statements[edit]

Halleygator removed dubious statements in sources that Curtis was 79–3 and won two state titles in high school.[1] This is confirmed in FHSAA record book which does not show any titles—let alone tournament wins—by Leon during his career. This says his record as a senior was 14–10, and here that his career HS record was 40–26. This also contradicts another source saying he hasn't lost in HS since he was 14. Pretty amazing how sources repeated the same incorrect information for decades.—Bagumba (talk) 12:56, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
