Former Wayland High School basketball standout Presley Hudson this weekend became Central Michigan University’s all-time second leading scorer when she scored 24 points in CMU’s victory over Akron. Hudson, daughter of Wayland head boys’ varsity coach Mike Hudson and sister of WHS girls’ coach Wes Hudson and Davenport University star Avery Hudson, already has set CMU’s career school records in three-point field goals and assists. She needs to reach 2,006 points to match Crystal Bradford’s record total. Two of her other siblings, Parrish and Ternor, are members of the current Wildcat varsity girls’ and boys’ teams.
Yes, Presley has been great at CMU. She is the University leader in 3-point goals made, and assists. And with 14 games to go, her career totals may be unreachable for a long time.
However, you are wrong about total scoring. At 1,970 points, she trails Dan Majerle (2,055) and Melvin (Sugar) McLaughlin (2071). But, if she maintains her current scoring average of 21 p/g over 14 games, she will overcome McLaughlin by nearly 200 points. Presley actually only needs about 5 more games to become CMU’s all-time leading scorer.
