Lauren Jones, senior guard/forward from South Oldham, is just 24 points away from 2000. They have a home game tonight and open district play against Trimble next week.

 

Against Trimble back in January, she became the all time leading scorer for girls at SO. Not sure about the boys record there - she might have both.

 

I did some research and according to the KHSAA 2008 stats website. Lauren is ranked in the top 20 in scoring, top 30 in 3 pt fg's, and is # 1 in the state with free throw percentage.

 

I have enjoyed watching her play over the years- she is such a smart player and a great student to boot. SO will really miss her leadership both on and off the floor.

 

Good Luck Lauren the rest of this year and at Austin Peay.

Jones is a great player and I have enjoyed watching her over the last few years. I wish her the best and I hope that she gets her 2000!

Good luck Lauren....even though you play my Lady Raiders next week, I wouldn't mind seeing you score your 2000th that night!

 

So, score 23 tonight....and only one on Tuesday!

Good luck Lauren!!

Congratulations Lauren. I heard she got the 2000th point land a few more last night against Bardstown.

According to the box score in the Courier-Journal she had 37 points. That gives her 2,013 career points, which is the school record for girls and boys. She's a very fine player, for sure.

Congrats! And what a way to break 2000!

Congrats to Lauren. A great player and a nice girl too.

Great player! Congrats!

Been out of commision all weekend but had to reply.

 

Congrats Lauren - I have seen her play a lot but it was an impressive performance against Bardstown. It is a real shame for the seniors though that they didn't win their last game on their home floor. I know it was a disappointment for them. They played hard but other that Lauren, they just couldn't get a shot to fall.

 

FYI....Lauren broke the scoring record that night as well- old record was 36 by Ashley Trosper against Bullitt East, ANDd had a double double with rebounds - what a night!!

 

I am surpised that there was not a write up in the Courier Journal - 2000 points is a big milestone for any player.
