Belgreen’s Will Bonner scores 2,000 career points

While players scoring 1,000 career points seems to happen a few times each year, scoring 2,000 career points is a rare accomplishment. Belgreen’s Will Bonner reached that rarified milestone over the weekend in Mississippi, where the Bulldogs hammered Ingomar 70-37.
