Another milestone
Kooper Ebel scores 1,000th point of hoop career
February 2, 2023
Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn senior Kooper Ebel has reached another milestone in high school athletic career, this time on the basketball court. Ebel scored his 1,000th point during the Hawks' game with West Sioux on Jan. 20.
Ebel was presented with a special basketball commemorating the accomplishment prior to the game with Remsen St. Mary's on Jan. 23. He was congratulated on court by Hawk coach Naet Hoaglund and teammates.
"What a milestone and accomplishment for Kooper. I couldn't be more proud of the effort with which he plays and who he is as a teammate and person," Hoaglund said. "As a coach, you want your best players to also be the hardest-working. Kooper demonstrates that every day in everything he does."
Ebel joins teammate Lance Berends and H-M-S alumni Tyler Mohr, Josh Ahrenstorff, Jon Walburg and Blake Simons as the only players in program history to score at least 1,000 points during their careers.
