With just under six minutes to go in the second quarter, Grafton’s Carlee Sieben launched a shot from the wing. It hit nothing but net, like so many shots she’s taken during her career.
But this shot was special. It gave her access to the 2,000-point club in North Dakota girls basketball. Sieben became what’s believed to be the 36th player in state basketball history to have scored 2,000 or more career points.
