The 1,000 point club has been the topic of discussion a lot the past two weeks and for good reason. On January 6th against Holliston, senior Drew Shea became the first player since 2007 to reach the 1,000 point milestone. The last player to have his name stitched into the Big Blue Millennium Club banner was Jeff Altimar.
Having one player reach the 1,000 point marker is impressive in its own right. Having two in the same year, in the same graduating class, is something else.
That came true last night as senior Lauren Petit accomplished the feat in Medfield's 65-26 win at Ashland. The one and only other time Medfield has seen two players reach 1,000 points in the same year was 2005. That year, both Evan Moon and Jill Anelauskas became members. Anelauskas is the program's all-time leading scorer with 1604 points.
