Just before the holidays, Cedar Ridge guard Mekai Collins quietly eclipsed a rare milestone. He scored his 1,000th point in his high school career in the Red Wolves’ game against Chapel Hill on December 9. Collins scored 12 points, which put him exactly at 1,000 points. He surpassed the mark the following night with 26 points in Cedar Ridge’s 56-47 with over the Durham School of the Arts. Collins started his career at Cedar Ridge, scoring 245 points his freshman year. As a sophomore, Collins scored 333 points. This season, he has led Cedar Ridge to four wins, three more than they had all of last season. He is the first Cedar Ridge player to surpass 1,000 points since Peyton Pappas in 2016 Pappas is the all-time leading scorer in school history. A native of California, Collins is a big Los Angeles Clippers fan. He will return to action on Tuesday night when Cedar Ridge travels to East Chapel Hill. You can hear that game on Hillsboroughsports.com live starting at 7:30 with Tim Hackett on the call.
