Kvaale scores 1,000th point during victory
By John Rittenhouse
Another Ellsworth Panther basketball player has joined the list of players to reach the 1,000-point club during Monday’s boys’ basketball game against Hills-Beaver Creek in Ellsworth.
Dylan Kvaale, a senior guard, became the third EHS boy to reach the milestone this season during the first quarter of Monday’s 62-59 win over the Patriots.
Kvaale needed five points to reach the milestone heading into the game, and got them with a three-point shot which was followed by a layup at the 6:06 mark of the first quarter.
Kvaale joins senior Brant Deutsch and Curt Schilling as current EHS players to score 1,000 career points. Deutsch, a senior, reached the milestone Jan. 31 in Lake Benton. Schilling, a junior, joined the club during a Dec. home game against Southwest Christian.
Scott Heidebrink and Chad Boom, 1994 and 1987 EHS graduates, are the school’s other boys in the 1,000-point club. Current senior Jenna Groen became the school’s first girl to score 1,000 career points during a Nov. 26 game against SWC this season.
