Prep Scene

This week’s “Fab Five” photos feature two 1,000-point-plus career scorers in girls basketball players Kendall Barnes (Roseville) and Olivia Wren (Minneapolis Roosevelt); another in boys basketball phenom Allan Lankfard Jr; and two guards who led their respective teams to victories in Joe Mitchell (Cretin Derham Hall) and Colin Moore Jr. (St. Paul Johnson).

Barnes reached the 1000-point mark in a 76-61 victory over Cretin Derham Hall. Wren, Teddie’s leader in scoring rebounds and assists this season, achieved the milestone last season. Lankfard Jr. scored his 1000th point while leading the Minutemen to a recent 79-36 victory over St. Paul Humboldt.

Mitchell scored 35 points to lead Cretin Derham Hall to a 78-67, while Moore led Johnson to victories over St. Paul Harding (65-59) and St. Paul Washington (81-44).
