The senior scored 16 points Friday night to break Kerry Schaff's mark of 1,718, which has stood since 1981. Erickson's career tally stands at 1,722. Erickson helped Broadview-Lavina to a 59-22 win to advance to Saturday's title game.
"It's really nice to get it out of the way. I kind of thought about it going into (Friday), just how special of an achievement it would be for me, so it's nice to get that out of the way and focus on (Saturday) night," Erickson told MTN Sports.
Erickson also ripped down eight rebounds, which was a game high. Connor Glennie and William Sanguins joined Erickson in double figures with 12 and 10, respectively.
