There have been several great high school basketball players in Section VII who have exceeded 1,000 career points, but not many can say they were a brother and sister duo who did it the same season.That title in 2025 belongs to Bolton High School’s Jadynn and Jaxon Egloff. Jadynn, a junior at Bolton, was the latest to reach 1,000 on Friday, Jan. 17, after her brother Jaxon, a sophomore, set the mark just two weeks earlier on Friday, Jan. 3.”I think it’s great,” Jaxon said. “Ever since we’ve been on varsity, we’ve always dreamed of accomplishing this.”Jadynn emphasized a variety of factors were in play to help them accomplish the milestone.”I think it just shows how well we were raised, coached, supported,” she said. “I mean, pretty good family genetics as well. It’s really special for us to get it the same year, same month even.”Each night the two got 1,000 points, family, friends and teammates were there to support with well-designed posters to recognize their accomplishment. Each sibling was also there in attendance on the night when they hit 1,000. Jaxon was cheering loud and proud when Jadynn reached the milestone, but she failed to hold back some tears of joy when her brother got 1,000.”I cried when he scored it,” Jadynn said. “Like I said, I’m always very proud of him. There is never that competition, especially for us getting in the same month within two weeks and just to see all the support that we have is really special.”The Egloffs also had an early head start to the varsity basketball scene, after making the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams by their seventh-grade seasons. The two were always competitive on the court, working as hard as they could in basketball. There were the occasional one-on-one games to get themselves better, and while in the moments those matchups may have gotten tense, they say it really doesn’t matter who the better player is between them. “I mean, there is always competition there,” Jadynn said. “We definitely are both very competitive. When it’s one-on-one, we go as hard as we can, but when it comes down to it, we are both just proud of each other.””We never argued about who is going to get (1,000 points) first,” Jaxon said. “It’s never been a competition between us. Any siblings always dream of accomplishing something great like this together. It just means a lot to both of us.”While the accolades are nice for the Egloffs, the biggest thing they care about is wins in the standings. That has been the case for both Bolton boys’ and girls’ basketball thus far in the 2024-25 season. Their current records have them sitting atop the Mountain Valley Athletic Conference standings, and the Egloffs are confident their teams can carry that success based on the amount of young talent that is on each of their rosters. “It’s great,” Jaxon said. “We still got a lot of young guys. We only got one senior graduating this year. Hoping to get a big run, sectional championship, even going to the state tournament. Same thing next year.””I feel like we also have a very young team,” Jadynn said. “We are going to have a good team for the next couple of years. Our coaches have done a really good job preparing us for that.”The Egloffs hope this milestone can be scene future aspiring Bolton basketball players to work hard in hopes that they too could accomplish a milestone like exceeding 1,000 career points on the high school hardwood.”We both started very early,” Jadynn said. “That can show that with hard work at a young age, success comes in the future.””A lot of these modified and junior varsity kids are looking up to us,” Jaxon said. “They are going to need to get in the gym.”In the meantime, both Jadynn and Jaxon still have eight games to go in the regular season before the Section VII postseason begins on Thursday, Feb. 18.
