Record for Dulkoski
Published 12:00 am Friday, February 8, 2013
From staff reports
Carson senior guard Kelly Dulkoski has set a program record for points in a season.
Dulkoski has scored 457 points to break the mark of 439 that she set last season.
Dulkoski also owns the Carson girls program records for points in a single game (36) and a career (1,298).
• Dulkoski is averaging 21.8 points a game, but that’s still only second in the county. Salisbury junior Brielle Blaire has topped the 500 points mark for the season already and averages 24.2 points per game.
Blaire needs 14 points tonight against Lexington to reach 1,500 for her career.
Blaire is third all-time in scoring for Salisbury’s program. Donna Carr scored 1,659 points, while Shayla Fields is the all-time leader for county basketball players (male and female) with 2,783.
• West Rowan senior Shay Steele is averaging 21.3 points per game and has 1,402 for her career. Steele ranks sixth in program history. She’s closing in on Kari Schenk (1,446).
• The big girls game tonight is West Rowan at North Iredell.
Both teams are part of a three-way tie with Carson for first place in the NPC as the season winds down.
West Rowan’s only NPC loss — and only loss all season — was at home to North Iredell.
North Iredell lost at Carson. West Rowan won at Carson.
Carson plays West Iredell tonight, so the Cougars are likely to be tied for first at the end of the evening with the North Iredell-West Rowan winner.
East Rowan, still in the driver’s seat for fourth place and a 3A state playoff berth, is at South Rowan tonight.
• The NPC boys games to keep an eye on tonight are West Rowan at North Iredell and East Rowan at South Rowan. Either South Rowan or North Iredell is going to finish fourth in a league that gets four playoff berths.
Carson’s boys, coming off their first-ever NPC sweep of rival South Rowan, are favored by a lot against West Iredell.
• In YVC action tonight, North Rowan is at home against South Stanly.
North’s boys are likely to run the table in the YVC with a 16-0 record for the first time. North has finished 14-2 in the league once and 15-1 twice.
• Salisbury is home against Lexington. Both Salisbury teams have struggled some, but both are still in the playoff hunt. The six-team CCC gets four playoff berths.
Salisbury’s boys lost 66-64 at Lexington the first time.
• In the SPC, A.L. Brown is at Hickory Ridge. In the CPC, Davie is home against Reagan. Reagan’s boys nipped Davie in their first meeting.
• In the NCPreps.com poll, North Rowan’s boys are ranked No. 4 in 1A. Albemarle, which has lost only to North (twice), is ranked 10th.
• CCC leader Central Davidson is ranked eighth in the 2A boys poll.
• SPC leader Concord is still ranked No. 1 in the 3A boys poll. NPC leader Statesville is ranked sixth.
• CPC leader Mount Tabor is ranked fourth in the 4A boys poll. Reagan and Davie are in a tie for 10th.
• YVC leader South Davidson is ranked eighth in 1A girls.
• In the 3A girls poll, West Rowan is third.
