Before Tuesday’s home game against Springfield Central, Republic basketball coach Tim Brown recognized senior guard Ahlante Askew for surpassing the 1,000-point mark for his career. Askew went over the 1,000 milestone at Fatima on December 9, but Tuesday was the first time Republic had played at home since then.
After scoring 21 last night, Askew currently stands at 1,159 career points.
Askew scored 222 of those career points in the Blue & Gold Tournament. That puts him in the top 15 all-time for scoring in that event.
