Plainview Lady Pirate Abbie Kromarek overtook the girls’ basketball scoring record, a feat that had stood since the late 1990s, topping 1,245 points during a game against Osmond last week. Kromarek replaces Plainview Hall of Famer Traci (Bernecker) Baller, who held the record for 25 years at 1,210.
