In a remarkable feat that speaks volumes about talent, dedication, and teamwork, two students from Southside High School have achieved the impressive milestone of scoring 1,000 points each in high school basketball. The two standout 11th-grade students, Gabriela Galvan and Jeffry Wilson, both point guards, have demonstrated exceptional talent, relentless dedication, perseverance, and commitment to their craft on the basketball court.

Reflecting on the journey, Galvan said, “I set the 1,000-point goal in my freshman year and it is a dream come true. The formula to achieving this goal is working hard. It’s a testament to the unwavering support of my teammates, coaches, and the Southside community because they’ve helped me reach this goal.”
Similarly, Wilson expresses gratitude: “This achievement is not just about me. It’s a big win for the Southside community. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my brothers on the team and my coaches. I needed them to achieve this goal.”

Southside ISD takes great pride in these accomplishments. Their journey to 1,000 points exemplifies the spirit of excellence and collaboration that defines our community.
