When Whiteford’s Josh DuPree scores his 1,000th career point, he will join his father Everett on the list of 1,000 point scorers in Monroe County Region. I believe they will be the first father-son duo to score 1,000 points in boys basketball in the region.

In girls basketball, Norm Weyher scored 1,281 points for Dundee in the 1950s. His daughter, Nikki, scored 1,301 points for Dundee in the 1980s.

Some other family history: State Line Christian brothers Todd, Dave and Dan Weber each passed 1,000 points as did State Line Christian brothers Jon and Dave Dalton. Monroe High School’s duo of Rosie and Jeff Barnes both passed 1,000 points as did Marlene and Chris Dietrich of Jefferson and Leslie and Rae Koppelman of Whiteford. Rhonda Bates and E.J.  Bates of Milan are the only brother-sister 1,000-point duo.

I can’t think of any other family combinations of 1,000 point scorers.  If you know of any, let me know (doug@monroenews.com).
