JACKSON, MS- Thanks to the addition of career stats to the GoMajors.com website, we have learned that Millsaps' guard Velvet Johnson has reached and passed the 1000-point mark for her career. 

Johnson became the 10th player in Millsaps' history to reach the 1000-point mark and her current 1,017 points places her ninth overall in Millsaps' lore. 

"We are extremely proud of Velvet's individual accomplishment in reaching 1000 points in her career," head coach Chuck Winkelman said. "However, what I am most proud of is that if you ask Velvet, she would be the first person to tell you that it takes 10 hands to score a basket."

In the video below, Johnson reached the mark with her first basket against Oglethorpe in the Majors' SAA quarterfinal win over the Stormy Petrels.

A model of consistency, Johnson has averaged 12.5 points per game over her career, a mark that has her fifth in Majors' history. Her 125 made three pointers in her three years places her third on the Majors' all-time list. Additionally, Johnson was named to the SAA first team this past season. 

Congratulations Velvet on this historic accomplishment and we look forward to her senior year and the Majors' 2014-15 season.
