In leading the Burke girls’ basketball team to 13 Boston City League championships, John Rice has seen plenty of milestones, but in his first year of coaching the girls at Fenway High School, he got a taste of something new.

Senior guard Kayla Cox, who collected 13 points and seven steals in a 69-40 victory at Madison Park Tuesday, became the second Fenway player this season to surpass the 1,000-point mark for her career.

“It’s such an honor for a student-athlete to get this far,” said Rice. “It’s a tremendous milestone.”

Junior guard Taj Veiga, who hit the 1,000-point mark back December 20 against Latin Academy, had a game-high 25 points and 11 assists to lead Fenway (4-2, 4-0), which remains undefeated in City League play.

“It’s nice to have a backcourt like this,” said Rice. “They work well together. [Veiga] is our quarterback and directs the team well. [Cox] really has no weaknesses to speak of.”

Rice is looking to repeat the success he had while with Burke and he intends to lean on his high scoring backcourt to bring Fenway their first city title.

“We’ve been running a lot more sets and trying to really elevate the system,” said Rice. “Before they were more of a free-flowing team, but we’ve been pulling in the reigns and getting geared up with the city teams to prepare ourselves for the tournament.”

Cox and Veiga are also highly skilled on the defense end of the court, helping Fenway force 34 turnovers against Madison Park.

“Taj plays awesome D and does what she has to for Fenway to win,” said Rice. “Kayla has so much energy and is an excellent defender.”

In all four of their victories, Fenway has held its opponent to 40 points or fewer and its average margin of victory is a whopping 44 points.

Their only two losses have come at the hands of the third-ranked Arlington Catholic (7-0) squad.
