Guntersville's Olivia Vandergriff was the headliner in this week's AHSAA Spotlight after scoring her 2,000th point over Arab last week.
Here's what the AHSAA said:
Guntersville High School point guard Olivia Vandergriff needed 21 points last week to reach her 2,000th career point. She got the milestone bucket in the third quarter of the defending Class 5A state champion Wildcats’ win over Arab. Vandergriff, who was named MVP in Guntersville’s championship run in 2022, finished with 28 points on the night and grabbed this week’s AHSAA Girls’ Basketball Spotlight.
“I didn’t even know I had gotten it,” Vandergriff told the Advertiser Gleam. “Coach pulled me, Tazi and Lainie out after we got ahead pretty good, and he told me on the bench. It was a good experience. Coach (Kenny) Hill gave me the game ball after the game.”
Celebrating the milestone wasn’t her big concern. She was thinking ahead to this week’s games.
“I’m kind of locked in for this week,” she said. “We have two big area games this week. I’m pretty excited about that. We have Scottsboro (tonight), and we go to Fairview on Friday.”
The Marshall County Tourney also gets underway on Saturday, and the Lady Wildcats are the defending county champs too.
