Jessica Wilson's lay-up late in the second quarter Thursday night put her over the 1,000- point mark for her high school career at Coudersport, less than 48 hours after the basketball program itself reached a milestone.

Coudersport (14-2) dominated the visiting Otto- Eldred Terrors, 66-32, notching its 13th straight win on a night when Wilson joined teammate Kristy Kamper in the 1,000- point club.

"Jess has been a true pleasure to coach," said Falcon mentor Brian Green. "She's a real hard worker and she has always done everything she's been asked to do."

Wilson finished with 15 points, joining Karli Duffee (19) and Kristy Kamper (13) in double figures. Kayla Bohn handed out nine assists.

"I am very pleased with the way these girls have been playing," Green said after the game. "Our defense was outstanding, we dominated the boards (48-12), and we were pretty impressive on offense as well. I'm satisfied with every aspect of the way we have been playing."

Wilson becomes the sixth girl in Coudersport basketball history to go past the 1,000- point mark. The leader board now reads as follows: Kim Tingley (1997), 2,905; Becky Tingley (1990), 1,264; Danielle Furman (2006), 1,164; Kristin Zimmerman (1996), 1,064; Kristy Kamper (2008), 1,055; Jessica Wilson (2008), 1,005; Julie Neefe (1978), 915; Nan Schaub (1974), 900.

On Tuesday night, Coudersport defeated Northern Potter, 73-44, to notch the school's 600th victory since interscholastic play was reorganized and launched in 1976.

Coach Green, in his third season, follows a long tradition of success. His record at Coudersport is now 64-8.

He succeeded Matt Splain (2001-05), who went 103-15 after stepping in when Tom Harpst departed. Harpst had a run of 286-49 in his coaching career (1989-2001).

Before that, Jim Woodard coached the Falcons to a 62-13 record in 1986-1989. Linda Castano started the program on firm footing with a mark of 86- 78 from 1976 to 1986.
