OTSELIC VALLEY – The game was stopped briefly in the third period of play – as Otselic Valley trailed Canastota Thursday evening by a small margin – as junior Amber Meigs became the newest member of the OV 1,000 point club.

“It feels like Christmas day,” said Amber Meigs following the game. “This is not just an individual thing, it is a whole team effort. I couldn’t have done this without my family and friends.”

Amber joined the likes of Doug Caldwell-1993, Melanie Fuller-1996, Danielle Graham-2002, and David Cerasani-2009 – as OV's newest member to the prestigious group.

OV head coach Paul O'Connor read briefly what makes a leader – something he saays Meigs is – “Leaders give energy, they make hustle an all-time thing, they pay ridiculous attention to detail, they make their teammates better, they always do more than their share.”

Currently, Meigs is sitting seventh in total points scored on the season at 179, second in total points per game at 25.6 (trailing the leader at 26 points), fifth in field goals made at 74, and number one at field goals made per game at 10.6. While also being number one currently in all offensive categories in the Central Counties League. All these statistics were pre-game, and are relevant in Section III Girls Basketball.
