A couple of weeks ago, Rocky Mount senior Tashawn Mabry became Rocky Mount's all-time leading scorer - boys or girls.Likely next week, he will become the Twin Counties' all-time leading scorer - boys or girls.
Currently, two girls stand above the 6-foot-5 forward.
Mabry is at 2,188 points, but he has to pass SW Edgecombe's Tyneshia Lewis and Tarboro's Marquetta Dickens to stand on top of the heap. Both young ladies had solid collegiate careers playing for the late Kay Yow at N.C. State.
Dickens is No. 1 at 2,241 and Lewis, who I saw in one game score an amazing 10 points in just a 15-second span, is No. 2 at 2,207.
With Mabry averaging 24 points a game and needing 54 points to get this record, he might just pull it off in the Gryphons' regular season finale at Northern Nash Friday.
Below are those players who scored more than 1,400 points. Rocky Mount's players are in bold and navy!
