ELCO’s George Sets Assist Record
In Friday night’s game against Blue Mountain, Dallas George unofficially broke ELCO’s all-time career assists record. The record of 254 had previously been held by Shawn Rambler (’90). In addition to this year’s cast of scorers, George has had the privilege of playing John Stockton to teammates like Luke Williams, Braden Bohannon, Corey Attivo, Rheece Shuey, along with several others.
A four-year starter for the Raiders, George has had an impressive high school career, having also set the career steals record earlier this season.
