1. Early in 2016, H-D senior basketball players Jessica Speake and Jordan Prantner both reach the 1,000-point career scoring mark, becoming the eighth and ninth girls in school history to do so. Later on, Speake broke the school record for assists. The girls basketball team lost in the regional final, the game to go to state, for the third straight year in 2016.
The rest of the list will be found in the Jan. 4 print and online editions of the Hampton Chronicle.
