COUDERSPORT 72, CAMERON COUNTY 53

COUDERSPORT, Pa. – Needing 29 points to reach the 2,000 career-point mark, Owen Chambers scored 31 points, the final three on a fourth-quarter 3-pointer, to become the fifth District 9 boys’ player to reach 2,000 career points while helping the Falcons wrap up the NTL title with a 72-53 victory over visiting Cameron County.

Chambers (2,002) joins Calvin Grumley (Johnsonburg, 2,255), Jesse Bosnik (ECC, 2,083), Garret Heath (Keystone, 2,215) and Brandon Housler (Cameron County, 2,084 points) on the 2,000-career points list in District 9 boys’ basketball.

The historic shot came when Daniel Frame found Chambers on the left wing, and the senior buried the triple. Frame reacted before the shot even went in, and Dillon Keglovits quickly greeted Chambers with a hug as the Coudersport bench emptied and the home crowd went wild.

Watch Chambers score his 2,000th career point. Submitted video.
