Going into Friday night’s game against Oakbrook Prep, Spartanburg Day School junior Zion Williamson needed 36 points to reach 2,000 career points.

By halftime, he had 26 points and was well on his way to reaching the remarkable milestone.

He began the second half with a couple of layups, an unassisted dunk, an alley-oop and a resounding dunk that put him at the 2,000-point mark.

Play was briefly stopped so that Williamson could pose for photos and celebrate the feat with his teammates and coaches. The team and its cheerleaders interacted with fans as the crowd chanted Williamson’s name.
