Heyman.jpgSamantha Heyman might be known more for her softball abilities at El Segundo, but she reached an impressive milestone in girls basketball on Wednesday night.

Heyman scored 11 points to surpass the 1,000-point plateau in her career in El Segundo's 54-34 loss to two-time defending Pioneer League champion South Torrance.

Heyman, a four-year starter for the El Segundo basketball team, entered the game with 995 career points. Now she has 1,006 and can set her sights on the all-time scoring mark held by Kelly Geis.

"It's a big deal," El Segundo basketball coach Mark Doering said. "She's a phenomenal softball player, but she's a four-year starter for us and is a tremendous shooter and a great competitor.

"She's crossed over between the two sports and has done a great job for both teams."

Heyman helped El Segundo's softball team reach  the CIF Division V final in 2007 and the Division V semifinals last season.

Dave Thorpe was a self-proclaimed, slightly above average baseball player back in the day at Torrance's West High, who went on and had an unspectacular, injury-riddled stint as a third baseman at El Camino College. Trading bat for pen, Thorpe wrote sports for the Long Beach Union newspaper at Long Beach State University, then worked as the sports editor for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News for seven years before climbing down the Hill to the Daily Breeze, where he has been a sports writer covering local sports since 2007.
