Green has done this while leading the team in scoring this seasons as she has put up 11.8 points per game. Green is the best statistical defender and rebounder for the team as well as she averages the most rebounds, steals, and blocks.
“It’s a real blessing and I’m really happy that I was able to get there.” Green said.
This game was not only special for Green’s 1,000 point achievement, but it also put the Rangers back in the playoffs for the season with two games left.
“We can get there (to state) if we take care of business” Green said, “If we stay positive and finish around the basket we can set our goals high.”
The team will look to continue its winning ways as they will face off against Clemens at home on Friday.
