Bryson City – Saturday proved to be a special night for senior Lynsey Hicks. Midway through the 2nd quarter of the Lady Devils 91-66 win over Rosman, the senior point guard hit a running layup, nothing spectacular to it, pretty much looked like dozens of shots she has made in her four years. But this one proved special, as it was her 1000th point.
The feat puts Hicks in some pretty special company. It is believed that only 7 others have gone over 1000 points in their career as a Lady Devil at Swain.
Hicks entered the season with 684 points, leaving her needing 316 to surpass 1000. With Saturday’s total she now has 321 points on the season.
Heading into the weekend it looked doubtful for Hicks, not only on scoring her 1000, but even being able to play. She missed the Cherokee game due to a leg injury, and things looked doubtful for the back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. She tried Friday, but she was limited in what she was able to do, despite that she scored a team high 17 points. Saturday she was more like herself, and came out aggressive, scoring her 1000 point in only the 2nd quarter.
