Monson's Boyle Hits 1,000

Senior Forward Reaches Milestone

Meghan Boyle (pictured left), a senior forward from Monson High School, eclipsed the 1,000 point plateau Monday night in a win in the Western Mass. Division III preliminary round. She led the Mustangs to a 62-18 win over Franklin County Technical.

Boyle scored a game-high 26 points on the game, including a bucket in the paint to give her 1,000 in the second quarter. The 5'11" senior is one of the most most underrated girls players in Massachusetts. She'll be a handful for Sabis when the two teams meet in the quarterfinals.

Another player who recently reached the 1,000 point mark was Pelham's Stephen Spirou. It happened on February 12 in a blowout win for the Pythons against Laconia. Spirou scored 25 in the game with the 1,000 point coming on a foul shot in the third quarter. What's even more impressive is that Spirou is only a junior. Not only that, but last year as a sophomore he played alongside guard Justin Hojlo who averaged 30 points a game. Spirou is currently the #3 ranked player in the Class of 2011 for NH.
