Adeline Baustert This year may have been a crazy year, but our boys basketball team had a very successful season. The varsity boys are coached by Greg Fox who was also one of the other five players that is part of the “1000 point club”. Two of our senior players exceeded 1000 career points, making them the 6th and 7th players to achieve this in Apollo-Ridge history. Klay Fitzroy is the 6th player to hit 1000 points in his basketball career followed by his teammate Jake Fello as the 7th player to reach this. The boys were proceeded in the action by Mark Timko, Greg Fox, Eric Jackson, Alex Smith, and Michael Kolessar. Despite Covid, some of the boys’ family members were able to be there to experience this moment with these two very deserving individuals. Klay hit this when they were playing St. Joseph, and his parents, brother, and grandfather were there to watch him accomplish this. Jake achieved this against Steel Valley, which was their last regular season game, and his dad, mom, sister, and grandfather were there to watch him and celebrate with him. When the boys were asked how it felt when they hit their 1000th point and how the team supported them this is what they had to say. Jake said, “When I shot for the 1000th point, I knew it was going in, and I shot from the white line. I couldn’t be more thankful for my teammates, coaches, family, and the school board for letting us have a season.” Klay had this to say: “It was really exciting scoring my 10900th point, especially with my team and family supporting me!” What an incredible accomplishment! Great job, guys!
