Career Milestone: Alabama's Newest 1K Members
Hitting the milestone of 1,000 career points in high school is something that should not be taken lightly.
Reaching this level takes a lot of discipline and the skills to score the rock consistently.
I reached out to a few players to get their thoughts on moving into a different plateau of a high school baller.
