CENTRAL SQUARE â Katie Hart has unknowingly been pushing Julia Mann to reach her loftiest goal for more than seven years.
Mann became the all-time leading scorer in Central Square varsity girls and boys basketball history by surpassing Hartâs previous record of 1,378 points during a victory on Feb. 27 at Oswego High School.
Mann, the Redhawks senior and fifth-year varsity guard, entered this week with more than 1,400 career points.
For Mann, the achievement marked the culmination of a mission she established after going to a varsity girls basketball game in fifth grade and being mesmerized by the balls in the trophy case at Paul V. Moore High School, zoning in on one that read: Katie Hart, 1,378.
