There’s going to be a new member of the Hall 1,000-point club and there’s a good chance it will happen tonight.

Hall senior McKenna Christiansen needs just seven points when the Devils (4-5) take on rival LaSalle-Peru (4-6) to become the sixth member of the 1,000-point club for the Hall girls and 17th in school history, including the boys.

Christiansen is averaging 10.0 ppg this year.

All-Stater Kailey Klein tops the Hall girls’ scoring charts with 2,486 points.

The top five for the Hall girls is rounded out by:

Hanah Hart (2016-20) 1,434

Hunter Galassi (2013-17) 1,330

Jen Andes (2004-2008) 1,265

Jacyln Kain (2009-12) 1,173

Two area boys have scored their 1,000th point this season - LaSalle-Peru’s Josh Seneca and Earlville’s Ryan Browder. Seneca became the 19th player in program history to score 1,000 points.
