Luverne junior Gannon Ahrendt reached the 1,000 points club during the Cardinals' home 79-71 victory over Hills-Beaver Creek Feb. 17.
Ahrendt becomes just the second boys' basketball player in Luverne High School history to reach the milestone.
Brett Heronimus was the first in 2013. Heronimus holds the school record with 1,248 total points. Ahrendt, as a junior, has 1,017 as of Feb. 21.
"It is very impressive to reach 1,000 points anytime, but as a junior it is even more impressive," said LHS head coach John Sichmeller.
"Gannon would probably already be the school's all-time leading scorer if we wouldn't have had a shortened season last year and had he not broken his leg this year."
Ahrendt, who began seeing varsity time during his eighth grade season, recognizes the significance of the milestone.
"This means a lot to me as there has been only one other 1,000 point scorer in Luverne history," Ahrendt said.
"My basketball career has been successful. I've had a few injuries and setbacks, but I've been able to overcome them.”
