Mark your blackberry and come join us.

Sparrow Reaches 1000 Points

The gym was packed, the tip off received, Samantha Sparrow gets the pass, follows through with a perfect layup. The buzzer sounds, play is stopped. What happened? Everybody knows except Samantha - she is met on the court by Coach Wall. He presents her with a basketball which reveals the fact -- Samantha has reached a milestone - the 1000 point mark in her career. Few players have the ability or opportunity to reach this level of achievement. Congratulations to you and to your teammates as you celebrate this accomplishment. Good luck with the remainder of the season.
