Champlin Park’s Tyler Wagner was scoring like he never had before in a game earlier this month, but his eyes widened when he looked up at the scoreboard early in the second half at Blaine.

The 6-6 senior guard was only a few baskets away from breaking McKinley Wright’s single-game school record of 46 points, with lots of time left.

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.”
