BLANCHARDVILLE - A.J. Hendrickson needed 25 points Friday night to reach 2,000 for his career.
The Pecatonica senior scored 26 to help the Vikings get past Highland 66-50 in a Six Rivers Conference East-West Challenge game.

"It's an accomplishment that's for sure," Pecatonica coach Matt Fink said. "That's pretty rare air for high school boys basketball in the state. And he gets there through the opportunity and chance to play with some very good players and good teams through the years. It's a collective effort, and I'm sure he would agree with that."
Sophomore Colten Schraepfer also had 26 points, including five 3-pointers.
