St. Joseph’s Alex Jones needed just one basket Friday to reach 1,000 points for her career.
She got that one basket and then some.
Jones scored 22 points, helping lead the Spartans to a 74-50 win over Clairton in a Section 3-A contest.
“It feels absolutely incredible,” Jones said. “I’m very happy I was able to finally reach 1,000.”
