Orange’s Joey McMullin joined elite company on Wednesday night. He scored his 1,000th point against Northern Durham late in the 3rd quarter on a stick back basket. After the game, McMullin was joined by current Orange coach Derryl Britt and former head coach Greg Motley during a ceremony commemorating his 1,000th point. He became the first Panther to score 1,000 points since Connor Crabtree in 2017. McMullin has started since his freshman year, when he scored ten points in his first varsity game in a loss to Lewisville Road during a Thanksgiving tournament at Millbrook High School in Raleigh. Since then, he has been a member of a Big 8 Regular Season Championship team which won three games in the state playoffs. McMullin opened this season by scoring 38 points against Research Triangle. McMullin will continue his senior season on Tuesday night when the Panthers travel to Chapel Hill. You can hear that game on Hillsboroughsports.com starting at 7:30.
