BALTIMORE (Map, News) - It’s rare that a high school basketball player scores 1,000 career points. It’s even more rare that a male and female at the same school accomplish the feat in the same week.

Last week, though, North Harford High’s Joe Becker and Corey Donohoe both reached the milestone.

Donohoe, a senior guard, was the first to achieve the mark, reaching it Thursday night in a 70-53 loss at Joppatowne. Going in as virtual lock to reach the plateau — she entered the game with 999 points — she easily surpassed it with a 25-point performance for her 6-5 team.

On Friday at North Harford, Becker, also a senior guard, secured his spot in the club after scoring 18 points (he needed 11) in a 71-60 loss to Perryville, the first-place team in the Upper Chesapeake Bay Athletic Conference’s Susquehanna Division.

“When I hit 1,000, they stopped the game and gave my parents the game ball,” said Becker, who is averaging 17.2 points per game for the Hawks (4-10).

While both players undoubtedly work hard on the court, they also put in great effort in the classroom. Donohoe and Becker are members of the National Honor Society and STARS (Students Taking A Responsible Stand), and both maintain a 3.75 grade point average. What’s more, they are good friends.

“Joe and Corey are old buddies,” said Donohoe’s mother, Jayne.

The 1,000-point duo do have differing interests. Donohoe is the vice president of the school’s varsity club and an active participant in her North Harford’s Best Buddies program, where she takes a special education student to a monthly movies or a social events. In the fall, she will attend the University of North Carolina to play lacrosse.

“Even though I am not playing basketball at UNC, I will definitely be watching it,” she said.

Becker also has high aspirations after graduation. While he seems most intent on pursuing a career in business and possibly obtaining a master’s degree, he is mulling a college career in basketball or track.

“I applied to Washington & Lee, Lehigh and [Johns] Hopkins,” he said. “Some of them, I might play basketball and some I might not.”
