Brown surpassess 1300 career points

Lincoln High School Junior Nathan Brown surpassed the 1300-point mark for his high school career during the Lynx win against the Clark Fork Mountain Cats Saturday.

Brown sank the 23 points against the Mountain Cats that pushed him over the 1300 point mark, and his performance Friday saw him rack up 32 points against Victor, which accounted for half the Lynx points scored in the home-game loss.

Brown's father, Lincoln High Basketball Coach Shane Brown, said there's a pretty good chance Brown holds the record as the lead scorer in the history of Lincoln High School, but he hasn't yet been able to check the records from the school's first year.

"I am very proud of him," Shane Brown told the BVD. "He has put in countless hours of training and shooting to get to this point in his career. Of course, what he has accomplished could not have been done without the teammates he has had over the years. They helped him get to this point as well."

Breaking the 1300-point mark is considered a major accomplishment for a high school student, and Brown still has the remainder of this season as well as his senior year to add to his high school career total.

Reece Gilko of Highwood holds the Montana state record for career high school points with 2763 between 1990 and 1993. Custer's Jeff Keller rounds out the top ten with 2181 points between 1975 and 1979.
