Steele hits 1,000-point mark

JB Hoops alum Mackenzie Steele reached the 1,000-point mark for her career at Susquehanna Monday night with her second basket of a 17-point effort in a 65-17 romp over visiting Forest City.

The 6-foot-2 senior center, who is committed to continue her basketball career at National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III power University of Scranton, reached the mark in the first quarter.

Steele is a two-time NEPABasketball.com selection as a first-team Lackawanna League Division 4 all-star. She has played a major role in a 30-game division winning streak by the Lady Sabers, who she led to the state quarterfinals in Class A last season.

Taylor Huyck, another JB Hoops alum who joined the 1,000-point club last season, had the assist on the basket, making an entry pass from the right wing to set up the basket from close range.
