Brooke Springfield’s resume speaks for itself.

As a freshman she helped guide Conant to a Class M championship, earning first team all-state accolades along the way. She followed that up by collecting player of the year honors in her second season and bringing the Orioles to within one game of another finals appearance.

On Dec. 28, the junior point guard added another nice line to her lengthy credentials — 1,000-point scorer.

It was a foregone conclusion that Springfield would reach the milestone versus Monadnock. She needed only two points, and after averaging 17.3 and 22.9 per game her first two seasons and 17.2 thus far in 2009-10, she knew she would do it very early on.

It wasn’t that she wanted to have the game stopped, which it was. Or to get a standing ovation from the crowd, which she did. Rather, the reason Springfield took the opening tip, drove to the left, split a pair of defenders and scored a left handed lay-up was merely because she wanted to get it over with and get back to the business at hand — beating the Huskies.

“I kind of just wanted to get it out of the way and not have the main focus just on that,” said Springfield. “I was going to pass it, but then I just took it in.”

Springfield could have easily done it versus Newport in the final game of the Cheshire Tire/Ted’s Shoe & Sport Holiday Tournament, needing only six points at that point. But battling illness and having played a full 32-minute game just two days earlier, Hill decided to give her some rest and save the milestone for the home fans.

“I didn’t know how I was going to react to it and once I saw her out there and once I saw it happen, it was pretty special,” said her father David. “If anyone deserves it, she does. Even though she doesn’t like the attention, from the time she was five years old, she’s worked so hard.”

To reach the 1,000-point plateau at such an early point in a career is relatively unheard of, especially since she is a point guard and has led the team in assists since she took over the position at the beginning of her freshman year.

“I’m always on her to shoot more, believe or not,” David said. “We were definitely two different types of players. She’s much more unselfish than I was.”

While the first two points brought her to the century mark, the next 18 scored on Monday continued her climb to becoming one of, if not, the best player in the history of Conant basketball.

Springfield became just the sixth girl to reach 1,000 and the 14th player overall. The last Conant player to reach the 1,000-point mark was Kyle Todd in 2007-08 and Springfield became the first on the girls side since Kathleen Neyens did it during the 2004-05 season.

“Of the girls that have done it, I think she’s pretty special. She’s in an elite class,” said Hill. “One of the best that I’ve seen come through here.”

And she isn’t the first Springfield with a ball in the display case. David, a 1985 graduate, has one of his own after scoring 1,183 as an Oriole.

“I was happy that he got to see it because he’s taught me everything I know about basketball, so I was hoping he could be there for it,” Springfield said.

With 14 games left in the regular season, Springfield could, if everything remains on course, be approaching the girls all-time scoring record of 1,389, set by her aunt, Karen Belletete, during the 1995-96 season.

“She’s worked so hard on and off the court,” Belletete said. “It’s a huge accolade and she deserves it.”

Springfield expects to be playing another 18 games, meaning Conant would be in the finals for the second time in three years.

She would need to average a little over 21.5 points a game to break her aunt’s record by the end of the regular season, but if the Orioles do make a trip to the finals, it would only take a little less than 17 points per contest.

As a freshman, Springfield scored an impressive 431 points and the talk started back then about when she might reach 1,000. She added 481 as a sophomore, in four fewer games, and entered her junior year needing just 88 points.

In her first year, Springfield reached double digits in every game. She scored 18 in her debut at Hillsboro-Deering and 24 in the Class M championship game win over Campbell.

“She got stronger as a freshman, started getting a couple 20-point games and in the championship she scored 24, so I thought it was pretty apparent,” Hill said.

She reached double digits in all 21 games as a sophomore and had some huge performances. Springfield dropped 32 in a game versus Hillsboro-Deering, which began a stretch of three 30-point showings in four games, including 31 in a late-season win over Campbell. Her career-high is 33 at Stevens, the fifth game of her sophomore campaign.

“Good things are going to happen when you work that hard,” David said.

She began this year with 19 versus Stevens and then had only eight while playing sparingly against Mascenic. In a huge win over Fall Mountain, Springfield scored a season-high 31 and then combined for 28 points in two holiday tournament games, 24 of which came in the opener with Fall Mountain.

The next goal for Springfield is to break her aunt’s record.

“I’m pretty sure freshman year when I walked in, I told her, ‘I’m going to break your record’,” Springfield said.

But it also isn’t completely out of the question that she could end up with 2,000 points.

As of right now, she needs 982 points. In just the regular season, Springfield has 32 games left as an Oriole and would need to score just over 30 points a game.

Add in two more games in next year’s holiday tournament and say four playoff appearances over the next two seasons and the average comes down to just under 26.

“I’d have to average a lot of points per game, but hopefully, maybe, I can get 2,000,” she said.

Springfield is undoubtedly happy with her accomplishment, but now it is back to business. What she wants is another state championship this year and another in 2010-2011.

“She’s just got that mentality and that tenacity and that willingness and she’ll work as hard as she can to help get her team a win and another state championship,” Hill said. “She wants two more.”

She knows it’s going to take a lot more than her just scoring points to reach the ultimate goal, which is why she does all the other things so well, because it makes the team better.

And all she cares about are wins, especially in early March.
