Drew Crawford has created a new standard at Naperville Central.
The Northwestern-bound swingman broke Tim Szatko's all-time school scoring record during Wednesday night's 59-49 win over Wheaton North in Naperville.
Crawford came into the team's senior night needing 15 points to set the mark, and he passed it with a twisting layup along the baseline at the 7:43 mark of the third quarter. Crawford finished with 28 to lead the 24-2 Redhawks, who completed a perfect 14-0 run through the DuPage Valley Conference.
Crawford now has 1,480 career points heading into next week's Oswego East Sectional.
