The Upsala Cardinals added another girl to the 1,000 point club on Tuesday night.

On the road against the Swanville Bulldogs, senior Kimmy Mrozek scored 18 points to reach 1,000 career points, joining her teammate junior Aimee Pelzer and five other lady Cardinals in the prestigious club.

Mrozek was unaware of how close she was to the milestone until head coach Paul Pelzer ran into her at the gas station after school.

“I was just gassing up my car and he pulled up and said, you know you can get to 1,000 tonight,” Mrozek said. “I had no idea until he told me.”

At first, Mrozek said she felt some added pressure to score the 18 points needed to reach 1,000.
