    H.S. girls' basketball: St. Bernard's Sullivan scores 1,000th career point

    Montville -Casey Sullivan scored 17 points, including her 1,000th at St. Bernard School, as the Saints downed Griswold on Tuesday night, 60-28, in an Eastern Connecticut Conference Small Division girls' basketball game.

    Sullivan joins Meg Sweet (1987) and Amanda Pietraszewski (2002) as the only Saints to reach 1,000 during head coach Mike Nystrom's 31 years with the program.

    "Casey has really been the key to what success we've had the last four years," Nystrom said. "She's probably the best shooter I've ever had in all the years I've coached, and the best thing about her is she's just a great kid.

    "She's really unselfish. She passes up a lot of good shots because she likes to pass the ball. She takes very few of what I'd call bad shots."

    Brittany Walenta had 14 points for St. Bernard (10-3, 4-1) and Kaitlyn Berkel scored 13.
