Three Webb varsity basketball players joined the 1,000-point club last month — Jax Howard, Dasha Biriuk, and Eli Brown.
Howard, senior, achieved this milestone at the Jan. 10 game against Middle Tennessee Heat. Just ten days later, Biriuk, senior, celebrated her 1,000th point at the Jan. 20 game against Grace Christian Academy. Ending the month strong, Brown, junior, reached his 1,000th point at the Jan. 31 game against Grace Christian Academy.
Howard has been a part of the team since sixth grade, Brown since ninth, and Biriuk since eleventh.
Jena Jones, director of athletics, commended these players for their dedication and commitment to the team and for always upholding Webb values.
“Jax has been an integral part of the boys’ program since joining the Webb community in sixth grade,” she said. “Watching him develop both on and off the court has been a true privilege.”
Jones continued, “His growth as a leader and a gentleman exemplifies everything Webb stands for. Through his relentless dedication and hard work, Jax has earned this incredible milestone, and we’re excited to celebrate his achievement with him.”
Regarding Biriuk, Jones said, “Dasha has made an immediate and lasting impact on the girls' basketball program since joining Webb in 2023.”
“Her exceptional skill, combined with her unwavering commitment and work ethic, has set her apart throughout her career,” she continued. “We are incredibly proud to celebrate her place in the school’s 1,000-point club and look forward to the continued success she will bring to the team.”
Jones said Brown "has consistently been a standout player during his time at Webb." "His dedication to the sport is evident in the extra effort he puts in, even when no one is watching."
She continued, "It's no surprise that he reached this remarkable milestone in his junior year. We couldn't be prouder of Eli and all he has accomplished!"
Seniors Howard and Biriuk will continue their basketball careers next year at the university level — Jax Howard for Middle Tennessee State University and Dasha Biriuk for The Ohio State University.
Congratulations to Jax, Dasha, and Eli for this incredible achievement.
