LEBANON, Ill. (AP) -Harry Statham won his 1,000th game Friday night, toppling yet another milestone in a 44-year career at McKendree University.
McKendree pulled away from a five-point halftime lead in a 79-49 victory over East-West University, fulfilling expectations of a sellout crowd of 1,600 that featured 10 shirtless students with “Harry1,000!” spelled out on their chests.
About two dozen former players were attended the milestone game in the gym that bears the 72-year-old Statham’s name. He is 1,000-381 at the NAIA school, about a half-hour east of St. Louis.
