Globe senior Robert Burries has 2,993 career points which puts him third all-time for the state of Arizona. Burries is five points behind former Shadow Mountain and University of Arizona standout Mike Bibby for second place and it should take the senior about four to six games to become the state’s all-time scoring leader.

Burries should break 3,000 career points at San Carlos on Jan. 8. The AIA's Friday Night Drive radio show (6-7 p.m. on 1580 The Fanatic) will interview Burries on Friday. 

Gilbert senior Haley Cavinder has 1,828 career points and her twin sister Hanna Cavinder has 1,737. They should both break into the 2,000-career scoring club this season.

In addition, Pinnacle standout and Arizona commit Nico Mannion is 293 points away from 2,000 career points.
