It’s a goal he says he had ever since he was a little kid, to be a thousand-point scorer in basketball.

Senior Grant Lorentzen of JFK achieved that milestone Tuesday night with a 22-point effort in a 73-46 win over Noor ul-Iman, on his sixth point of the evening.

But if you ask him where he’s going to school and what he’ll play, the answer is The College of New Jersey, but not basketball.

No, Lorentzen will be playing football and baseball.

A three-sport athlete at Kennedy, Lorentzen was a three-year starter on the football team, amassing 149 catches, 2,470 yards and 34 touchdowns, saving his biggest year for last. He caught 55 balls for 1,221 yards – only a few more catches than his junior and sophomore seasons, but almost double the yards of each.

He’s also trained under CJSR sponsor Elite QB with coach Matt Bastardi.

On the diamond, he’ll be playing his fourth year on varsity this spring, where last year on the mound he threw 54 innings, struck out 75, walked 19, and had a minuscule 0.77 ERA.

The Mustang basketball team, meanwhile, is 7-9, but currently on a three-game winning streak Lorentzen says he hopes is a sign of things to come, hunkering down for some late season success, and maybe a county and state tournament run.

We got a chance to talk with Grant after basketball practice Friday afternoon.
