The 2,000-point mark might not be breached by any players from Southern Arizona this winter, but a few will reach 1,500 and some will break 1,000.

On the girl’s side, seven standouts have reached that mark with former Catalina Foothills and University of Arizona standout Julie Brase scoring an incredible 2,913 career points.

Brase was unique in that she sat on the bench to avoid running up the score. That would not happen today. Former Estrella Foothills standout Corey Hawkins leads all scorers with 3,154 career points and former University of Arizona standout Mike Bibby scored 3,002 at Shadow Mountain, making his case for the best high school career in all of Arizona. Brase would easily shatter the state record if she played today. It wouldn’t even be close.

The most exclusive club is 2,500 career points and four of the ten to do that played at Arizona including Brase, Bibby, Jerryd Bayless (2,888) and Daniel Bejarano (2,642).
