By the end of the night, Wagner had become the first Class 4A boys player in Minnesota history to score 60 points.
Wagner wore Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards' Adidas shoes for the first time, so maybe that gave him an extra boost.
“It was just crazy,” Wagner said. “I couldn’t have done it without the players and coaches trying to get me the ball.”
