On Monday, January 13, senior point guard Elliot Bird
reached 1,000 points for his career playing basketball for the Black River
Falls Tigers.
“It felt great reaching 1,000 points, it was like all the
hours and hard work paid off,” said Bird.
Elliot has received multiple scholarship offers for both
football and basketball and plans to attend UW-La Crosse for football.
“The thing I will miss most about playing basketball in high
school is my teammates. I’ve enjoyed just spending time with my team and just
being there,” said Bird. “Some advice I would give to someone who wants to play
basketball would be, just give it everything you have, and focus on the basic
things and try to develop yourself into a player that has little to no
weakness.”
