It was a historic night at Middletown Area High School on Tuesday, January 20, as senior Jayla Koser surpassed Kate Fitzpatrick (Class of 2020) to become the school's all-time leading scorer in girls basketball. Fitzpatrick, who set the previous record of 1,614 points, was at the game to congratulate Koser.
Koser, who plans to continue her basketball career next year at Mount St. Mary's University, made the record-breaking shot with seven minutes remaining in the game, which was also Senior Night. While Koser’s name will go down in the MAHS record books, the accomplishment was truly a team effort. The Lady Raiders concluded the memorable evening with a 53-21 victory over Gettysburg, remaining undefeated in regular-season play.
Congratulations to the entire team, and best of luck with the rest of the season!
