Wilbraham & Monson Academy’s Selah Prignano ’26 hit a major milestone earlier this week, and she did it in standard Selah fashion.

Selah drove from the top of the key and scored on a finger roll early in the third quarter in a 66-25 win at Cheshire Academy Feb. 26, making her the eighth 1,000-point scorer in program history.

“Reaching 1,000 career points made me reflect on my basketball journey from 0-1,000,” Selah explained. “I’ve had a lot of lows and highs over the course of my high school career. I worked hard, and poured so much time and energy into this sport to continue to grow into a great player. All of it brought me to where I am now, and I honestly feel very proud of myself and my accomplishments.”

“One thousand points is quite the milestone in basketball,” Coach Durelle Brown stated. “Everyone would like to achieve it, but few understand the work, the determination, the commitment, the trust and the dedication that it takes, let alone the skill, consistency and luck with health during your career.

“Selah, a reclassified junior, has accomplished the feat within her four years, which is also a strong statement. I am proud of her and her journey. It was not always daisies and sunshine on the court, but she came here to WMA, trusted our school, our culture and community, and embraced it all. Then the basketball part came easy. Selah trusted and embraced our WMA Girls Hoops culture, and with her work ethic, (along) with our (coaches) know-how, melded together to make quite the successful career.”

Selah entered the game with 987 career points. She netted the milestone with six minutes, 25 seconds to go in the third quarter.

“No, I wasn’t nervous (going into the game), but I was definitely excited,” Selah said. “I felt pumped knowing that I was going to reach a huge milestone within the next 32 minutes. I knew all I had to do was play my game and it would happen naturally.”

Selah, though, does much more than score for the Titans, often being called upon to bring the ball up the court offensively and guarding the other team’s top scorer.

“Selah knows her game, which I see as a strength,” Coach Brown said. “Very rarely will she try to play outside of herself. She is extremely skilled, and when she plays with the right pace, quick but not in a hurry, she is hard to stop. But for me and our team, Selah's strength is her explosiveness. When I think of Selah at her peak, I think of the word ‘loud.’ Her game is very loud. She makes super athletic plays, like soaring for a steal at midcourt and then turning on the jets to swoop in for a signature finger roll. The way she moves is just different; her game immediately catches your eye while also having a very fundamentally sound game and skillset about her, which reminds me of her picture-perfect, pull-up jump shot.

“WMA has introduced me to a new level of basketball that I couldn’t have reached before I got here,” Selah praised. “Coach Brown and my team have pushed me to become the best player and role model I can be. This community, on and off the court, has helped me grow as a person that strives to be great in everything I do, pushing myself to my full potential. I’ve tried my best to inherit the work ethic and positive attitude this place exudes, which led me to reaching my 1,000-point accomplishment.”
