Rivera High School sophomore guard Reggie Clark Jr. etched his name into Raider history on Tuesday night, eclipsing the 1,000–career point mark in front of the home crowd. With six regular-season games still remaining on the schedule, Clark reached the milestone on a layup in the third quarter, with just over six minutes left on the clock. The moment came on an already meaningful evening, as Rivera celebrated both Parent Night and Senior Night.

“It felt great. My teammates helped me get there and coaches have trusted me to hit the 1,000-point goal.” said Clark Jr. “Again, “I couldn’t do it without my teammates.”

Clark’s scoring milestone added to the energy inside the gym as the Raiders went on to defeat the Porter Cowboys, improving to 7–4 in district play. The win kept Rivera firmly in the playoff conversation and capped off a night that blended team success with individual achievement.

“Great milestone and big accomplishment for our program and our team—super phenomenal, super sophomore that does it so early in his career; for a lot of players it takes up to four years to accomplish it. Great for him. Great shooter, great player all around.” said head coach Jesus Alvarez Jr.

While record books on campus do not provide complete historical clarity, it is widely believed that Clark is the first Rivera Raider sophomore to reach 1,000 career points since the school opened its doors in 1988 and began competing in UIL athletics. If confirmed, the milestone places Clark in rare company and underscores the significance of his achievement at such an early stage in his high school career. He would join a select group of former players that includes Johan Morales, Ramsey Rocha, and Isaiah Cuellar—all of whom reached the 1,000-point mark as seniors under head coach Alvarez.

“It’s great. There has been a lot of great players and a lot of great coaches that have passed through this program. Since we took over the helm here seven years ago, he has been the only player to do it (as a sophomore). Significant impact and he is the kind of a player that we have at Rivera High School.” said Alvarez. “Super important that it happened on parents night, the kid is a great leader he loves the game of basketball, super educated when it comes to the sport. I am very proud of him especially on a night like parents night. He was able to show his talent and show his skill, super proud of him.”

With six regular-season games still ahead, Clark’s milestone is unlikely to be the final chapter in his story this season. For now, however, Tuesday night will be remembered as a defining moment—one where history was made, family was honored, and the Raiders delivered a crucial district victory.
