Central High School junior Alahnna Simpson turned a milestone performance into another victory for the RiverHawks on Friday.
Simpson scored 21 points to reach the 1,000-point mark for her career, and that led the way in Central’s 50-37 nonconference victory over Sauk Prairie at the Mark Sutton Memorial Gymnasium.
Simnpson was three points shy of 1,000 when the game tipped off, and she sits at 1,017 career points heading into Saturday’s 11 a.m. home game against Reedsburg. The victory is Central’s second in a row and fourth in the past five games.
Senior Kaitie Biondo, who missed her junior season due an ACL injury sustained during soccer season, sparked the RiverHawks off the bench and added a career-high 11 for the RiverHawks.
