Madison's DiLillo, Mentor's Meyer are each on the verge of 1,000 career points

The 1,000-point club is an elite fraternity for players who show offensive prowess and consistency.
Two area players are on the verge of becoming the newest members of that group.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Madison senior Nic DiLillo and Mentor senior Joe Meyer could get there as soon as this weekend.

DiLillo - a four-year starter for the Blue Streaks - needs 16 points to reach the 1,000-point plateau. With 984 career points, the 6-foot-5 forward and Ohio State football recruit has PAC games against Chardon and Riverside before a regular-season finale against Harvey. Madison coach Pat Moran said the achievement signifies a level of solid play over a number of years.

"The big thing with Nic is that he has been a consistent performer for this program for his entire career," Moran said. "He gets a lot of attention for his football skills, but he has the talent to be a pretty good basketball player as well. It is a great honor for him, and it just further solidifies his contributions to Madison athletics."
