For many high school boys and girls varsity basketball players, scoring 1,000 career points is on the bucket list of goals to accomplish. It may sound easy, but it is not! There is a lot of hard work involved, as well as other circumstances including being a consistent scorer, earning maximum playing time and avoiding injury and illness.
Rachel Peterman, last seasons Pioneer Mountain League MVP has been a varsity starter at Loyalton High School since her freshman year averaging 18.5 PPG as a freshman, 20.8 PPG as a sophomore and 21 PPG to date this year as a junior. She led the Northern Section in Max Preps all divisions in PPG scoring at the end of the 2014/15 season as a sophomore and currently leads the Northern Section for the 2015/16 season. Peterman, quite possibly would have accomplished joining the 1,000 Point Club last season had it not been for a knee injury that sidelined her scoring efforts mid season for six games.
Peterman topped the 1,000 point mark during the Lady Grizzly's December 18th game at Pyramid Lake, Nevada, which is an achievement and a milestone that she has coveted since her freshman year at Loyalton. The Grizzly's beat Pyramid Lake 72-33 and Peterman scored a season high 33 points to go along with 12 rebounds, seven steals and 2 blocks, making this her fourth double-double of this season. Rachel considers herself an all around player and focuses on all aspects of her game. She stated that she could not have achieved this goal without the help and support of her teammates and her coaches.
CONGRATULATIONS RACHEL on your accomplishment and GO GRIZZLY'S!!!
