A new member of the 1,000-point list.

Connor Houle, right, has been a standout for Attleboro High for four seasons.

Although I have not been in the employ of The Sun Chronicle of Attleboro since 2018, I do remain a "keeper of the flame" of sorts. As I was obsessed with historical statistics and wanted to preserve records of the past, I compiled what I simply call "The 1,000-Point List" -- a compilation of all the athletes from the schools we covered that reached that level for career basketball scoring. 

At one point in time, it had maybe 10 names on it. But with the passage of time, better research methods and ongoing achievements by our local athletes, that list has grown and grown ... now well over 100 boys and girls. 

Last night at North Attleboro High, a new member was added. Attleboro High senior guard Connor Houle scored nine points in a big win by the Bombardiers over the host Rocketeers, and therefore became the 15th Bombardier to reach 1,000 points. He is also the 62nd male athlete and 116th overall to achieve the feat from among the 12 high schools covered by the newspaper (or its predecessors, the Attleboro Sun and North Attleboro Chronicle) over the time that it covered those communities.

Connor, of course, is the son of AHS boys' basketball coach and athletic director Mark Houle, who is also on the list.

To commemorate the achievement, here for your viewing pleasure is the entire list as it stands now. I expect at least one more addition before the season is out, so once we've put the basketballs back on the shelves this March, I'll update it.

The area’s 1,000-point scorers:

This list includes 1,000-point scorers that attended 12 high schools covered by The Sun Chronicle or its predecessors (not athletes from the circulation-area towns that achieved the feat at other schools).
