Quite a milestone for a high school senior

Whitney Bennett scores 1000 points in her sports career

Saratoga Middle High School Senior Whitney Bennett reached a remarkable milestone in her high school sports career by scoring her 1,000th point in basketball.

The countdown started when Bennett entered her freshman year. She played both volleyball and basketball and left nothing on the court.

Bennet scored the landmark 1,000 in the first half of the last game this last weekend against Burlington's Lady Huskies. She said she felt some pressure to make it, and was fairly sure it would happen this weekend. She said she was kind of relieved when it was done and she could move on to just playing basketball and having fun.

Bennett hasn't ironed out her plans after high school but said she would like to go into some kind of fitness, athletics type field. She isn't interested in playing basketball professionally, but said she might do some coaching later on. Bennett has had a long, consistent and successful high school sports career.

Bennett is a warrior and a competitor who exemplifies sportsmanship and drive whether dribbling a basketball down court or sending a volleyball smashing across the net and past her opponents hands.
