Biggest of shoutouts to Cain Cooper! Tonight, you joined one of the most exclusive clubs in high school basketball — the 1,000 Career Points Club! From freshman buckets to senior-game takeover moments, you've poured in work, heart, and clutch shots for four unforgettable years. Every layup, every mid-range jumper, every deep three, every trip to the free-throw line... it all added up to this incredible milestone. 1,000 points isn't just a number — it's proof of consistency, toughness, leadership, and love for the game. We see you. Your teammates see you. Your coaches see you. Your school sees you. And the whole community is proud of you!

Please take a moment to fill it out and return it as soon as possible. If you need another copy, anyone can stop by the High School Office to pick one up. Thank you for your continued support of our students and school! 💚📄
