It's a rare accomplishment for a trio of Clinton High School senior boys basketball players.

Having a player that scored 1,000 career points is a celebrated accomplishment for even an individual in a given basketball season, but it is a first for Clinton High School basketball coach Vic Binkley. 

Mason Walker, Dawson Graves, and Brooks Cluver became 1,000-point scorers. Cluver credits the chemistry the trio shares and says it has meant a lot to share it with two friends he's grown up with. 

Walker (right) has the catalyst for Clinton's offense and says being able to share the accomplishment with life-long friends has made it that much more enjoyable.

Graves (left) says scoring 1,000 points wasn't something he had on his radar when he started playing basketball and points out he didn't even know he had reached that plateau until well after the fact. He adds he couldn't have done it without his teammates. 

Cluver (right) and Walker say they looked up to the Clinton High School teams with Austin Baker and Austin Rauch when they were growing up and wanted to be like them.

Having three 1,000-point scorers is a first for Clinton's Hall of Fame basketball coach.

Coach Binkley says not only are the trio very hard workers, unselfish basketball players, and good teammates, but they are good young men as well.

The Maroons will go for the outright Central Illinois Conference championship Friday night when they host Central A&M at Clinton High School.
