Congratulations to senior Shannon Murphy who reached her 1,000th career point Thursday night in a non-league home basketball game against Oakcrest High School. Shannon made a 3-pointer in the first quarter to reach 1,000 points, and finished the game with 10 points.
Shannon has played on the ACS Varsity Girls’ Basketball team for the past four years. In addition to being a top scorer (averaging 11.5 points a game), she has a quick hand on defense, grabbing over 70 steals this season alone, and is a strong rebounder. As a junior, Shannon hit the mark of 500 rebounds and now has over 730 this season.
“Shannon is a very strong athlete who gives her all each game,” said head coach Pam Hitchner. “We are a better team with her on the court and it has blessed by heart to watch her grow in the Lord since I first coached her as a 7th grader.”
