Chillicothe's star athlete Bryce Young crossed another sports milestone, this time becoming just the 7th player in Chillicothe Boys Basketball history to score more than 1,000 points in a career. The 5'10" Senior guard hit the milestone in typical Bryce Young fashion.
     With 1:33 left in the contest against Macon, Young sliced to the basket for a quick jumper but was fouled. Young's teammates had been keeping track of the point total when Senior post player Brett Stephens informed Young that "if you hit these two free throws, you've got 1,000." Young toed the line and calmly hit both free throws to reach the mark. Young hit one more bucket before sitting down for the remainder of the contest.
    Hornets coach Matt Brownsberger says Young is a fun player to watch. "He's got that ability to really keep us in ball games and take games over at times." Brownsberger stated the milestone was somewhat bittersweet, coming during the end of a 71-62 home loss to Macon. "I know how bad he wants to win" stated Brownsberger, who presented Young with the game ball at center court at the end of the contest.
     Young joins an elite group of basketball talent as the 7th member of the Hornets 1,000 points club. Young joins Justin Bland (2,269 points 1994-98), Mitch Parrish (2,124 points 1978-82), Eric Hemmer (1,830 points 1992-96), Jerry Parrish (1,503 points 1957-60), the late Chuck Hinchey (1,420 points 1975-78) and David White (1,021 points 1986-1990) as the only players in the 100 year history of Hornets Basketball to score more than 1,000 points in their varsity career. Young also joins David White as the only athletes in Chillicothe history to have more than 3,000 career rushing yards in football and more than 1,000 points in basketball.
