Hall of Fame Category: Athlete
Alison Carey became the first female athlete at Fairhaven High School to score 1,000 points in her basketball career. The all-time career scoring leader among girls was able to reach that milestone late in the first half of a game against Harwich. She finished the season with 1,063 total points; a record that would not be broken until 2008. Alison is one of only five female athletes to accomplish this feat at Fairhaven High School and one of only 16 total athletes that have joined the prestigious 1,000 point club at Fairhaven.
She was a two-time all-star basketball selection in her Junior and Senior year. As a Junior co-captain she helped the Blue Devils qualify for the tournament by leading the team in scoring (15.5 per game), rebounds (6.7 per game), field goal and free throw percentage and was among the team leaders in steals (3 per game) and in 3-point field goals. Alison was a 3-year starter on the basketball team. Her coach Glenn Gardner described her as “the top player overall, as far as offense and defense, that I’ve coached here”.
Alison was also a four year member of the tennis team where, as a senior in 2000, she ran her record to 11-0 in a match against Dighton-Rehoboth to help lead the lady Blue Devils to a 3-2 win over the previously undefeated Falcons. She also helped capture the first tennis win in Fairhaven’s history against an Old Rochester team that year. Carey played second singles and was named to the Standard Times All-Star team as an honorable mention selection in tennis.
