January 4, 2022

By GREG MENGELT

Corydon Central junior Ava Weber scored 67 points in a 3-game tournament at Vincennes Rivet and went over the career 1,000-point mark last week.

Weber opened the week with a 20-point, 6-rebound, 5-steal performance in the Panthers’ 59-51 loss to Tecumseh. She then had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals as the 14-2 Panthers bounced back to beat Japer 56-34. In the final game of the tournament, Weber contributed 26 points, 3 boards and 3 assists to a 57-40 victory over MSC-rival Eastern, which the Panthers also play Tuesday on the road.

Weber now stands at 1,023 points for her career with a season and a month left.
