1,000 points. 250 points a year (and that's if you play as a freshman), in 30-32 games a year that's about 10-15 points a game. Only 15 girls have achieved that in Taylorville girls history and three of them are seniors. Addison Tarr reached 1,000 last season. Mazie Fleming and Kyleigh Heimsness both accomplished that feat this year.

For Addison Tarr, it took fighting through injuries to reach her goal, for Fleming it was all free throws and two pointers, and for Kyleigh Heimsness it was about overcoming adversity, cold streaks, and playing time. All three though run this Taylorville team and it's showed. In the last four seasons, Taylorville girls have gone 73-35 and while the girls haven't had the playoff wins they would like, they have had some fantastic regular seasons.

Mazie Fleming says it's about the chemistry between the girls.

All three girls were very humble on playing ball together but have cherished the memories together and dreamed of always playing together.

While Heimsness may not talk a lot during interviews when she locks in, she is extremely locked in. Heimsness scored 30 points against Charleston in her 1,000 point game, a feat that all three girls have hit.

The girls talked about their upcoming schedule coming up including a matchup against a familiar foe in Alton on Thursday night and they are looking forward to playing some of these teams including Alton and a game at Lincoln.

Taylorville heads to face 20-1 Alton Thursday and at Lincoln (11-9) on January 31st. Addison Tarr is committed to play for SEMU, Kyleigh Heimsness will play for Millikin, and Mazie Fleming is set to play volleyball for UIS next season.
