After crossing the 2,000 career point milestone on Dec. 4, it didn't take Woodward guard Paul McMillan IV long to reach his next milestone.
McMillan became the 30th player in OHSAA boys basketball history to reach 2,200 career points Wednesday, scoring 28 as Woodward dismantled Toledo Rogers, 80-39 in the final game of the Bettis Bulldog Classic at Woodward.
McMillan needed 18 points in the game to reach the 2,200 mark. With the way he's been scoring this season, it's not surprising McMillan reached that milestone before the fourth quarter even arrived.
McMillan scored 15 in the first half alone and joined the OHSAA record books with a 3-pointer with just over four minutes to go in the third quarter.
With his 28 points, McMillan now sits at 2,010 career points and is 29th on the list of OHSAA's all-time points leaders in boys basketball. He passed Mike Cross of Franklin Monroe, who played from 1970-1974.
Now, McMillan needs 24 points to move up three more spots on that list and pass Gary Kesler, Nathan Lessing and Jerry Legge.
McMillan is currently averaging 29.4 points per game and has yet to score fewer than 20 points this season, so he could pass those aforementioned players in Woodward's next game.
The 8-1 Bulldogs visit Dunbar on Jan. 8.
