Sahuaro junior standout Alyssa Brown scored 31 points Tuesday night to help lead the Cougars past Catalina Foothills 53-38. Brown is sitting at 1,981 career points with at least one playoff game remaining on the schedule for this season.

Sahuaro is ranked No. 3 in the 4A Conference and the team is slated to host a first-round game on Wednesday, Feb. 19. Brown is on the verge of becoming the eighth girl from Southern Arizona to score 2,000 career points and the 31st in the state. At her current rate of over 31 points a game, Brown could do some serious damage to the career scoring marks in Arizona.

Former Catalina Foothills and University of Arizona standout Julie Brase sits at the top with 2,913 career points and that mark has stood for 22 years. Brown would need to repeat her performance form this year to approach that goal.

Former Globe standout Robert Burries set the new boy’s record of 3,387 career points last year. Burries, Corey Hawkins and Mike Bibby are the only players from Arizona to score 3,000 or more career points.
