Merritt Holly became Le Roy's all-time leading scorer in a home game against Avon on Friday night.

Holly scored 21 points on the night, moving him to 1,575 career points. The record was previously held by Brendan Fulmer, at 1,559 points, set in 2003.

"It's a great accomplishment," Holly said. "I'm really happy we got it. I got it, and we got it. It's not just a personal goal. It's really a team goal. I would like to thank all my prior teammates, too. It's great for Le Roy. This hasn't been broken in like 20 years, so it's right to finally break it."

The record-breaking goal did come, however, in a 61-46 loss to #1 ranked Avon.

Besides the 21 points, Holly had 10 rebounds.  Adam Woodworth, seven points, Jake Higgins, seven points, and Jean Agosto, four points and six rebounds.
