Tyreek joins elite list of FDHS basketball players

In the Region 3C tournament game against Spotswood, Tyreek Veney scored 9 points, putting him over the 1,000 mark for his career.  There have been only ten male players in FDHS history who have achieved this:

Player	Points
Dell Curry	1,922
Troy Bower	1,493
Steve Floyd	1,248
Jimmy Crawford	1,240
Ryan Cook	1,186
Woody Hayes	1,168
Robby Carter	1,162
Joe O’Gorek	1,038
Larry Leonard	1,014
Tyreek Veney	1,001

The seniors were fortunate to play with two of these players.  Ryan Cook was a senior when they were sophomores.  For Tyreek this was a great accomplishment especially since in 2020-21 Fort Defiance only played 13 games thanks to COVID-19.  This feat also provided Tyreek with a way to honor his dad, Sam, who died in December 2021.  Hooray for Tyreek!
