Hackley School

"Enter Here to be and Find a Friend"

Allie Coppola scored her 1,000th point

I would like to announce that Allie Coppola scored her 1,000th point this evening in a game against Trinity School. Allie reached the coveted achievement as a junior and is the 8th player in Hackley’s history to do so in girls’ basketball. She has been the backbone of the frontcourt for Hackley School for four years dominating on the boards defensively and a scoring power offensively. Allie’s hard work and dedication to her sport has made her one of the best, not often do you see power forwards reach this mark. When you see Allie, please congratulate her on this great achievement. -- Jason Edwards, A.D.
