Boston Globe recognizes Peddy milestone

Excerpts -
The junior point guard poured in 22 points in the first half, on her way to a 27-point effort, to become only the third Melrose High girls' basketball player to reach the milestone. Shannon Kirwan (1,313) and Quiana Copeland (1,008) are the others.
Peddy could have reached 1,000 sooner, according to Brady. With Melrose, which was 15-0 entering the week, crushing the competition, Peddy hasn't played much in the second half this season. And when she does play, shooting is not her first priority. Peddy's scoring is actually down this year to 15.9 points per game from 19 last season.
''She looks to pass first and she is very unselfish," said Brady. ''She probably could have done it a few games ago, but she passes first and gets everyone involved. That is the type of player she is."
The Roxbury resident, who attends Melrose through the Metco program, is averaging 6.7 assists per game. The Red Raiders have a balanced attack. Twin forwards Paula and Karen Sen are each scoring in double figures, and guards Cara Lynch and Lynley DeAmato are hovering near 10 points per game.
