1,000 POINT MILESTONES January 26, 2010 was a big day for New Jersey Sparks basketball. Two high school seniors had a chance to get their 1,000th point of their high school varsity career. 
Jackie Marshall of Hackensack High School and Rae Corbo of Paramus Catholic both went into their perspective games with a chance to achieve this goal. Jackie was facing Passaic County Tech only needing 3 points to achieve her goal, while Rae was facing Demarest High School needing 19 points. Jackie not only achieved her goal but she exceeded it with a 28 point effort, including five 3 pointers. Rae achieved her goal in the 3rd quarter and finished the game with exactly 19 points. The best thing that happened with both of these girls was that their teams also won. Hackensack beat Passaic County Tech 65-44 and Paramus Catholic beat Demarest 65-30. CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!! |

The New Jersey Sparks Athletic Club is a non-profit organization. The organization is dedicated to teaching girls the game of basketball. Not to just play basketball but to teach kids another skill that could help get them into college. Basketball skills and development is not all that is tracked with the program. School grades are also looked at. School work, academic responsibility, and responsibilities at home take priority in our program over basketball. We aim to teach the girls in our program, self discipline, and personal responsibility for their actions. We are dedicate to the kids. It is always about the kids with our program. |
