CLARK, NJ- Records were made to be broken, and Arthur L. Johnson High School junior George Visconti did just that on Saturday afternoon in Clark. With a free throw in the fourth quarter of a high-pressure game against Summit High School, Visconti sank the shot to become the school’s record-holder in varsity basketball points.
He now stands at 1,416 career varsity points, surpassing Kevin Boyle, who set the previous record with 1,415 points back in 1980.
“I was just overwhelmed with happiness. Today was a nice reminder that all my hard work pays off. And I know that milestone wouldn’t have been attainable without support from my family, friends, and coaches. I felt very blessed after that game between my achievement and our 16th victory.” -Johnson junior George Visconti
Visconti reached a milestone 1,000 career varsity points on Tuesday, March 1, 2016 against East Brunswick Tech HS.
On the afternoon, Visconti scored 20 points to lead the Crusaders past the Hilltoppers by a final score of 70-65.
