Myles Tate

Ashburn (Feb. 1, 2011) - Briar Woods High School junior Myles Tate broke the 1,000-point career scoring mark Monday night in the Falcons 71-64 win over Park View. Tate had 24 points in the win to reach 1,002 career points and keep the Falcons firmly in third place in the Dulles District race behind leaders Potomac Falls and Broad Run.

"I am lucky to have a player like Myles who is blessed with the talent that he possesses," said Briar Woods coach Mike Benson. "Throughout the last three years, he has grown tremendously as a player and a leader. He does not only score points for our team, he is a strong leader and a role model for kids."

Benson continued: "He has led this team at the toughest position on the floor, point guard. There aren't many point guards who also score as many points as Myles and contribute on the defensive end of the floor. Every year since he has been at the helm of this program, we have improved along with him. I am looking forward to having him another year to set more records at Briar Woods."

The Falcons are 9-3 in Dulles District play, two games behind Broad Run (9-1) in the loss column, with four contests to play for BWoods and six to play for the Spartans. Potomac Falls is 12-0 with four to go.

On the girls side, Loudoun County is 11-1 with four to play, one game ahead of Freedom (10-2).
