Saturday was a milestone day for Bethany men's basketball junior guard Nick Wilcox, a Peters Township High School graduate, as he scored his 1,000th career point and broke the school's all-time steals record in an 81-49 victory over visiting Washington & Jefferson.

Wilcox entered the game needing four points to reach 1,000 and two steals to break the record in that category and it was the thefts mark that fell first. He made steals on back-to-back Presidents' possessions just before the 15-minute mark of the first half to reset that standard.

Wilcox's milestone point came during a big Bison run that gave it control of the game. He slipped through the lane for a lay-in with 9:02 to go in the first half to become the 23rd men's player in school history to reach 1,000 career points.

That basket was just a small part of Bethany's 27-9 surge in the first half that turned a two-point W&J lead into a 38-22 Bison advantage.

Wilcox finished the day with nine points, nine rebounds, five assists and four steals. In addition to the other records, now with 1,005 points, 523 rebounds and 201 assists to his credit, he is just the second men’s player in Bison history to reach those marks, joining Mike Drahos (2002-06).
