Senior Basketball Player Reaches 1,000 points

By Kaili Berg



     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.”
