On Tuesday, Feb. 21, Girls Basketball phenom Aaliyah Mota scored her 1,000th point with 15 seconds remaining in the final league game of the season at Minisink Valley. The game was paused, Aaliyah was given the game ball and a standing ovation from both Monticello and Minisink Valley players and fans. Aaliyah becomes just the fourth girls basketball player in Monticello history to eclipse the 1000-point mark, and ninth player overall.
Aaliyah is pictured below with Varsity coach Sheila Burns, as well as her father Harry, mom Lisa, and sister Nina. Special thank you to April Demaio for supplying the balloons and banner.
