PHS Varsity guard, Asia Jackson, scored her 1,000th career point Thursday night . It happened during the first quarter of the Lady Red Devils/Lakeland game. She went on to score 17 more points as the team won 61 to 32.
The game was halted after Asia sunk her shot, and she was presented with a commemorative ball while the hometown crowd repeatedly shouted in unison, “ASIA – JACKSON…!!”
When asked how she felt about her achievement, Asia modestly responded, ” Good- I guess.” She said that she was able to score so much because, ” we have a good team. They pass a lot and can get the ball to the open person.”
With her excellent skills and excellent attitude, we see a lot more points in Asia’s future.
