During Tuesday’s home game against Crenshaw Christian (11-3) Senior J.D. Owings reached a milestone in his Varsity basketball career. Early in the first period he scored his 1000th point and went on to score a total of 15 points in the win against Crenshaw Christian. The game paused for a moment as Coach Jim Brantley presented J.D. with a commemorative basketball. J.D then took moment to give the basketball to his dad in the stands. When asked how he felt after reaching 1000 points he commented that he was surprised but happy and gave credit to his teammates for putting him into positions to score points. Macon-East remains undefeated with a 13-0 record but know hard fought battles are ahead .
