On Februay 23, 2010 we all witnessed a great event at Foxboro High School. Our senior point guard, Kristen Hoffman, drove in on the left side of the basket (her signature move) to score a beautiful lay-up and become the school's 9th player in history to reach that milestone.
I am quite proud of Kristen for many reasons. She worked diligently for hours with me on her shooting form. She has great BEEF! :) 
She improved as a player each year --- offering more ways to score and more ways to make plays for her team.
The community support was truly awesome for Kristen's big night! There were about 500 people at the game to celebrate in an event that doesn't occur often. Little kids had their faces and chests painted with Kristen's jersey number on them. The boys' varsity basketball team had the girls' away jerseys on and they even presented Kristen with flowers when she hit the big shot.
Kristen has been a joy to coach for the last four years. Hoffman's 1000th point sparked school and community spirit and gave all the young kids in the stands something to "shoot for".....
