South Shore's Megan Gustafson has become the state's all-time leading scorer in girls basketball, surpassing former South Shore standout Jolene's Anderson's previous record of 2,881. New record is at 2,917 points and counting.
One of the first things Megan said was crediting her teammates who helped her accomplish the record.
"Getting the record out of the way early helped take pressure off my teammates," stated Gustafson.
When asked what it meant to be in the same company with Jolene Anderson in so many records Gustafson responded with.
"Really honored, (Jolene's) a great player. I grew up watching her play and make it to state."
Their last game is on Thursday night at Solon Springs, before their first round matchup at home against Mellon on Tuesday, February 24th.
She told WSN that it's time to focus on getting back to state.
The Cardinals have one regular season game remaining before the tournament begins.
She moved into first place with a free throw at 7:40 in the second quarter and had 29 points at halftime. Gustafson finished with 46 points, including 44 through three. The Cardinals defeated Chequamegon 81-45.
Gustafson, a 6-foot-3 forward, is averaging 38.8 points and 19.1 rebounds per game this season (both lead the state) for coach Ryan Tiberg and the Cardinals.
Last year Megan became the first girl in state history to reach 2,000 career points as a junior.
She is signed to play at the University of Iowa for coach Lisa Bluder.
