Humboldt Basketball player makes History - 1000-points! Congratulations!

"Brian scored 15 points in the game last night to bring his career total to 1,007. Brian is now the leading scorer in school history for boys' basketball!"

St. Paul, Minn...This was a game Brian Williams, Jr. will remember for his entire life. Brian surpassed the 1,000-point mark with a free throw (picture attached) in the first half, but his memorable night was far from over.


...with Humboldt trailing Highland Park 87-86 with 10 seconds remaining in the game, Brian dribbled the ball down the court and was fouled while driving to the basket with 1.6 seconds left on the clock.


He now had two free throws to either tie, win, or lose the game. Most players would crack under the pressure, but not Brian. Brian stepped up to the free-throw line and made BOTH free throws! Highland Park heaved a half-court shot as time expired and missed. Hawks win 88-87!
