Nationally Ranked Santia Jackson Scores the 1,000th Point of Her Career

Chicago -Latin School Senior Santia Jackson scored the one thousandth point of her career last Friday, December 11th. This landmark record is rarely broken during a high school girl's basketball career and demonstrates Santia's remarkable ability, especially at a school Latin's size.

Santia is ranked in the top 20 girl's basketball players in the midwest by Street & Smiths magazine, is ranked 64th in the country by sports statistician Mike Flynn, and was named MVP by the Blue Star Camp this past summer-an extraordinary feat in and of itself, and especially at a small school like Latin where there are only 76 students in Santia's graduating class. She is also nearing breaking the school career point record for girls basketball-1158 points. Earlier this fall, Santia was recruited by and signed with Georgetown University. She hopes to someday play for the WNBA.
