FOREST AREA 72, VENANGO CATHOLIC 59
OIL CITY, Pa. – Seth Berlin became the first boy in the Forest Area co-op to score 1,000 points in a career when he netted a game-high 24 points to go with 16 rebounds and three blocked shots in a 72-59 Fires win at Venango Catholic in KSAC North play.
Berlin came into the game needing 15 points for 1,000 and became just the third player to attend West Forest High School to reach 1,000 points joining Kirk Riddell (1,118 points in a career that ended in 1999) and Mike Vermillion (1,042 points in a career that ended in 1969). He is also the 15th player in the Forest Area School District to reach 1,000 points, as 11 players from East Forest reached 1,000 before the co-op between East and West started. The last player in the Forest Area School District to reach 1,000 before Friday night was Corey Snyder of East Forest in 2008 (1,105).
