RICHMOND — The Beaver Local put up another win Monday and junior Jenna Riccardo put her name in the record books.

Riccardo scored her 1,000th career point as she totaled 20 points and 16 rebounds in leading the Beavers past Edison, 90-27.

“She’s a great leader for our basketball team,” Beaver Local coach Stephanie Coie said. “She’s the first player at Beaver Local to score 1,000th points in her junior year.”

Riccardo became the third Beaver Local girl to reach the mark and currently has 1,005 points.

The game was stopped when she got her 1,000th point in the second quarter and she was given the game ball. After the Beavers opened up a 54-10 halftime lead, Riccardo saw limited action in the secon half.

“She is very humble and very quick to give credit to all here teammates,” Coie said.

She joins Rachel McCoy (1,215) and Mallory Yajko (1,086) at the top of Beaver Local’s list.

It was also a night to remember for junior Madison Cline, who had a career-high 20 points. Freshman Elizabeth Kolkowski contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds. Riley Britt had nine points and seven assists, Chansyn Hoppel nine points and Madison Ours eight points and five assists.

The Beavers improve to 7-6 on the season.

It was a good night all around for the Riccardo family. Leah Riccardo, Jenna’s younger sister, had a game-high 13 points as the Beaver Local junior varsity team posted a 36-9 win.

The Beavers will play at East Liverpool on Thursday.
