CROSWELL — At Port Huron High School, the girls basketball program dates to at least 1905.
That’s an awful lot of history. And Mariah Turner just made some more.
With a 3-pointer at the 5:41 mark of the second quarter, she broke the Red Hawks’ single-season scoring record during a game against Croswell-Lexington on Thursday, Feb. 26.
The previous record of 429 points was set by Kesha Bradford in the 1997 season, when MHSAA girls basketball was a fall sport.
After Turner’s triple, which gave her 431 points on the season, Port Huron promptly called a full timeout so the senior guard could celebrate with her teammates. Cros-Lex athletic director Jeff Kosal announced the achievement to the crowd, which was met with applause.
