LaRose Scores 1,000th Career Point Cass Lake-Bena’s Alexiah LaRose reached a major milestone Tuesday night, scoring her 1,000th career point during the Panthers’ win over a conference rival. The senior guard hit the historic shot in the second half, earning a standing ovation from the crowd and recognition from her teammates and coaches. Known for her scoring ability and leadership, LaRose has been a key player for the Panthers throughout her career. With her milestone now achieved, she’ll aim to help her team make a deep playoff run this season.
