Rocky Mount High senior forward Tia Hudgins is moving ever so close to joining the school's 1,000-Point Club.
The four-year starter is coming off her best scoring season of her career last year, and she has gotten off to a solid start thus far this campaign. Hudgins, whose older brother Terrell came very close to joining the boys' version of the club when he closed out his career in 2005, needs just 61 more points this season to reach that coveted 1,000-point mark.
She would become only the fifth female to do so and the12th overall player to hit the mark.
However, the likelihood that she will get that 1,000th point at home is somewhat doubtful.
Rocky Mount has but eight home games on its regular season schedule this year and one of them has already been played.

With her current average of 14 points per game, she will likely hit the milestone in the first round of the Nash County Christmas Tournament which is being held at Southern Nash later this month.
