Savannah Country Day senior Abby Nicholson joined the Lady Hornets basketball program 1000 point club by leading her team to victory on December 21. The Hornets defeated Pinewood Prep 48-29 in the Queen City Clash in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Abby needed 201 points this season to become the tenth Lady Hornet to score 1000 points in program history. By scoring 19 points on Tuesday, she now has 1,001 points. As a freshman, she scored 89 points, in her sophomore year 378, and as a junior last year 332.
Lady Hornets Head Coach Amy Brooks said, "Abby is a terrific basketball player and an even better teammate. She wants nothing more than for her team to succeed. I love coaching her."
