1,000 Reasons to Celebrate a Win
Sometimes games aren't about just wins and loses.
Naomi White scored the 1,000th point in her Lyndon State Basketball career on Tuesday against Johnson State.
Junior forward Donna Lawson, says that White didn't even know that she scored her 1,000th point when she made the bucket.
"We were all kind of joking about it because we knew that she was close, but Naomi had no idea that she scored it when she did," said Lawson, who was the team high in scoring against Johnson with 24 points.
"There's no one more deserving than Naomi. She's put in a lot of hard work over her four years here, and it really shows, especially when you see she did this."
Coach Vinnie Maloney also had high praise for White, who was one of the first players he recruited to Lyndon State.
"It was a great moment for her," Maloney said. "She had a big smile on her face when it happened, and I think she's really earned it."
With a 7-12 record on the season, the Lady Hornets are right in the thick of the race. They believe that if they play to the best of their ability, they're going to go far.
"If we play the way we can, to the level we can, we're going to turn some heads and surprise people. Teams may not take us seriously, but we are definitely going to surprise people if we play like we should."
Coach Maloney has his team geared up for the playoffs with one goal in mind.
"Our number one goal is to win the conference championship," Maloney said.
"No one is too scary, and we've played all of our conference teams once now, so all we have to do is make adjustments. We'll watch some film, go over some game plans, and prepare like we have all season."
The team will play an out of conference game against Middlebury this Tuesday. The game is expected to tip-off at 5:30 p.m.
