4-star PG Caroline Coyer sets assist mark on pass to twin Katherine
In storybook fashion, Caroline Coyer broke the Virginia state AAA record for career assists on a play that produced the 1,000th career point for her twin sister, Katherine.
The Coyer twins' connection came during the last minute of a 54-45 victory by Oakton (Vienna, Va.) over Robinson (Fairfax, Va.) on Friday night that improved Oakton's record to 20-0.
Caroline Coyer, rated a four-star prospect by ESPN HoopGurlz, has 532 career assists, topping a mark that had stood for 20 years. She'd already broken the school record for career assists, previously held by Jasmine Thomas, now with the Washington Mystics of the WNBA.
The 5-foot-10 point guard, who along with her sister is headed to Villanova, is expected next week to join Thomas as the only players in Virginia state history to surpass both 1,500 points and 500 assists.
