On the same day that she picked up her second straight Div. IV Player-of-the-Year honor, Hilary Weaver eclipsed the 1,000 point career mark as Hiland defeated Beallsville 56-36 in its Div. IV Indian Valley District opener.

Weaver led the Hawks with 12 points, putting her at 1,001 for her career, and she was one of a trio of locals in double figures, joined by Noelle Yoder's 11 and 10 from Regan Miller.

Hiland, now 21-2 on the season, led by 20 (37-17) at the half and outrebounded the Blue Devils 49-25, with McKenzie Miller hauling in 12 of those boards. Weaver handed out six of Hiland's 19 assists.

The Hawks will now face the winner of the Shadyside/Strasburg contest on Friday at 7 p.m. at Indian Valley for the right to move to regional play.

A win in that game would be Hiland's seventh straight district crown.
