"It's a big accomplishment for me": Five-star prospect Mia Pauldo on reaching 2000 high school career points

Speaking on her 2000-point milestone, Mia Pauldo acknowledged the significance of the achievement and what it means to her basketball journey:

"It's a big accomplishment for me. It'll go somewhere on my resume. Even though I'm still passing the ball and we're still winning, I'm able to be efficient on the court. I'm still making shots and getting to the rim. I'm able to hit 2K and not only 1K. Most high school players don't even get 1K points, so that's a big accomplishment for me."

Mia is, however, not only all about scoring. She's also recorded over 500 career assists, 300 steals, and almost 500 rebounds, alongside her 2000-point achievement.

Having committed to the University of Tennessee, She alongside her sister, Mya, will suit up for the Volunteers at college level next season.
