Caveney scores 1,000th point

Girls basketball

Devon Caveney reached the milestone 1,000-point plateau, and did it in fine fashion by leading Andover past Greater Lawrence Christmas Tourney champion North Andover 45-42 last Thursday. She hit the mark in style, nailing a three-pointer while being fouled then adding the free throw.

“This was a great way to get the 1,000 point,” Caveney said “I was really happy. That was the second time I ever got a four-point play.”
