On December 29, Tyson Powers reached a milestone that all high school basketball players strive to achieve. But it wasn't the 1,000-point mark that Powers had been looking forward to most.

With his 32-point game in the Amboy Clippers' closing victory at the Eastland tournament, Powers moved into the top seven on the all-time Amboy scoring list. He moved past a very familiar name: his father, Dean.

"It means a lot to pass Dad," Tyson Powers said, smiling at his father standing a few feet away. "We've joked around about it for years, ever since we got basketball camp t-shirts when I was a kid that had all the school records on them. I was always hoping I'd have the chance to pass him one day, but it's still a little surreal to think that I've actually done it.
