It’s not unusual for a large basketball program to have a player reach the 1,000-point milestone during their career, but for a school of 165 students to have three players surpass 1,000 points during the pandemic-shortened season is totally remarkable. It’s also special that all three reached that landmark within the last two weeks of the 2021 season.
Delmarva Christian High School senior Gracie Fetterman hit her 1,000th point in the Feb. 24 win over Caravel. Jayson Handy garnered his 1,000th in the March 3 state tournament loss to Seaford. Finally, junior Sierra Troyer scored her 1,000th in the March 8 tournament loss to Woodbridge.
