MEDFORD – Shawnee High School senior Avery Kessler reached a career milestone in her team’s 43-28 Olympic Conference interdivision road victory over Lenape Feb. 7.
Kessler scored her 1,000th career point – becoming the second Shawnee player to do so this season – en route to a team-high 15 points against the Renegades’ Lenape-district rivals.
The senior guard now has 350 points on the year. Her career totals are: 1,012 points, 270 rebounds, 242 steals and 181 assists.
“We are so proud of Avery’s accomplishments,” said Shawnee coach Chrissy McGovern. This is so well deserved for her! She is the backbone of our program.”
