Sizemore hits 1,000 career points

On Saturday, Feb. 15, Clatskanie High School junior Joey Sizemore scored career point 1,000 in a girls basketball game against Faith Bible in Hillsboro. Hitting 1,000 career points, Joey said, is “a milestone that not many people reach.” In fact, only two other female Tigers, Shelby Blodgett and Olivia Sprague, are on record for achieving this mark; both graduated in 2021.

How does one reach this career milestone? Scoring that many points in basketball involves lots of training and practice, as well as a high game IQ. Joey has been playing basketball since she was in kindergarten.

Other awards Joey received this season were making “First Team All League” and “Co-player of the Year” with Knappa High School’s Miley Lempea. Joey’s future plans/goals for basketball are to “make it to Pendleton, home of the 2A State Tournament,” says Sizemore. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be this season with Friday’s loss at Central Linn. Sizemore’s other goal is “to do it all again next year.” Congratulations, Joey Sizemore on this amazing milestone.
