Just three games into her final high school season, VIth former Za’Nyah Bernard ’25 netted her 1,000th career point. Her incredible accomplishment came during a dominant 29-point performance that led the Mustangs to a 50–41 win over Millbrook rival Pomfret on Saturday.
“Za'Nyah has been an incredible addition to our team and community since the moment she came to campus,” noted Millbrook Girls Varsity Basketball Head Coach Shayla Zezze. “We are so proud of her and look forward to seeing all she will accomplish throughout the rest of the season and her career.”
Bernard’s stellar effort against Pomfret and cumulative scoring success also earned her a Mustang of the Week honor. She’s the second Mustang hooper to hit the 1,000-point mark this season. On the boys varsity side, Chase Garcia reached the milestone on Wednesday.
Next up in their pursuit of a New England championship, Bernard and the girls take on Miss Porter’s School in the Ethel Walker Tournament on Friday, Dec. 20, at 3 p.m.
