The Cal and Billy Ripken families have been famous for baseball over the years.
However, their children aren't too bad in basketball, either.
A little over a month ago, Cal's son, Ryan, scored his 1,000th career point for
Gilman (Baltimore, Md.). Not to be outdone, his cousin, Miranda Ripken, who is Billy's daughter, scored 15 points this week to help
John Carroll (Bel Air, Md.) post a 60-36 victory over the Institute of Notre Dame (Baltimore, Md.) and finish the day with an even 1,000 points during her four-year career.
The senior small forward ranks No. 2 in her class and is considering attending Carnegie Mellon or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to study engineering, according to the Baltimore Sun.
