The Lady Knights and Coach Kevin Parman congratulate Jaylynn Benson on her achievement.
"Congratulations to Jaylynn Benson and all of past and present teammates and coaches! Jaylynn reached the 1,000 point marker joining an elite list of female athletes in New Glarus," said Coach Kevin Parman. "And this wouldn't be possible without everyone involved."
Leading the team with 13 points was senior Shealyn Klosterman-Havens. Jaylynn Benson scored 12 points and Lindsey Schadewalt put 10 points on the board.
"The 20-21 basketball season has been challenging to say the least," commented Parman. "This year's team has been focusing on playing in the moment and leaving nothing in the tank each and every opportunity we have to compete."
