Two Players Reach the 1,000 Point Milestone

Here at KG's College Athletics, we want to recognize the accomplishments of student-athletes who have achieved both on and off the field or court, and not just those from the big schools.

Two lady basketball players have achieved what many will never even dream of. They have both scored over 1,000 points in their college careers. Reinhardt College Jr. Forward Kinsey Galan reached the 1,000 point milestone in the Lady Eagles win over Montreat College 72-66. The Knoxville, TN native came off the bench to score 28 points in 27 minutes. She entered the Montreat game with 997 points scored in her college career. Right now, Galan ranks second in scoring in the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) with an average of 17.1 PPG.

Tennessee Wesleyan Sr. Forward Lindsey Jackson joined the 1,000 point club back on Nov. 28, 2009 in a 70-69 loss to Brenau University. Jackson is the 20th player in Tennessee Wesleyan history reach the 1,000 point milestone. What is interesting is that both these young ladies play against each other being that both Reinhardt and TWC are in the same conference, the Appalachian Athletic Conference. As of January 10, Jackson has 1,072 career points. From time to time, we at KG's College Athletics will highlight accomplishments such as those of Lindsey Jackson and Kinsey Galan.
