Congratulations to Danville senior Brooklynn Hess, who scored her 1,000th career point tonight in the fourth quarter against KIPP Columbus. The Blue Devils went on to beat the Jaguars, 43-21. Hess is the sixth Blue Devil to reach the 1,000-point mark since head coach Matt Proper took over in 2012. CeCe Newbold, a 2020 graduate, was the last Danville player to do so. Hess earned all-district and all-state honors last season, and was named KMAC Player of the Year. She is averaging 13.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.5 blocks per game this season, leading the Blue Devils (10-4, 6-2 KMAC) in all major stat categories. Friends and family were present Saturday to watch her make history. (Video by Grant Pepper/Knox Pages)
