Reggie Lee, now in
his 30th season as
Brookhaven (Columbus) girls basketball coach, earned
his 500th career victory on Dec. 2 with a 42-38 victory over Africentric
Early College (Columbus).
"I really wasn't thinking about 500, but
you want to do something like that against a quality team like
Africentric," said Lee, whose team beat the Nubians to win the Columbus
City League championship last February. "Overall I thought we did a hell
of a job on (Africentric's) Raven (Ferguson)."
Ferguson, who signed with Ohio State in November, was held to eight points on 2-for-16 shooting.
