Plymouth junior guard Brook Turson offers just a simple shrug of the shoulders when the subject is brought up, knowing full well it is something he will hear about often as his career as a Big Red basketball player pushes forward over the next year and a half.
?It?s a nice accomplishment ... I guess,? Turson said. ?But a lot of the credit goes to my teammates. I?ve had really good supportive teammates the first two and a half years here and it?s a team award that I think I share with all the guys I?ve played with. It?s all really nice, but the main thing is to win basketball games on a consistent basis.?
There is also the inevitable wait of the Turson family tree officially becoming the flag bearer for Big Red basketball. If Brook averages 20.2 points per game in his team?s remaining 13 regular season games, he will become the school?s all-time leading scorer while brother?s Graig (1998-02) and Brett (2001-05) will bumped down to third- and fourth-place on the all-time scoring list, respectively.
Graig scored 1,247 points while Brett is right behind with 1,163 points.
Furthermore, Brook?s father, 16-year Big Red head coach Brad, earned his 200th win this season and was already the school?s all-time wins leader while, just last season, Brook broke the single-game scoring record with a 51-point performance.
?To have my brothers and myself in the 1,000-point club is really nice for my family,? Brook said. ?And with my dad being the all-time wins leader as well it really just adds to everything. But again, like them more than anything, we just want to win games. I think it just runs in our blood.?
