Reaching 1,000 points in a career is a great achievement for any high school basketball player and is, fittingly, celebrated.
Hitting 2,000 points in a career is another thing entirely.
That's 500 points a season or about 25 points a game in a 20-game season. Some, if they're lucky enough to play for teams who qualify for post-season play might see 24 or 25 games in a season, but few achieve the milestone.
That's what makes it so special.
Stonington's Heather Buck did so earlier this season, but it looks like she will be joined by another special player on Tuesday.
Norwich Free Academy senior R.J. Evans needs only 16 points at home against Staples in a Class LL first-round state tournament game to also eclipse the 2,000 point mark.
It just goes to show how special this high school basketball season has truly been. Three future Division-I boys basketball players in the Eastern Connecticut Conference, unheard of.
The crowd at New London on Friday night to watch NFA play the Whalers for the ECC Championship- spectacular.
The end of Heather Buck's high school career- why so soon?
Hope you enjoyed it, it may be awhile before it happens again.
