Parkers Prairie senior basketball player Sari Noga, the only in-state member of the Gophers' 2010 recruiting class, reached the 3,000-point plateau last week.
Noga, a 5-10 guard, got to 3,000 in a 62-54 victory over Cook County in the championship game of the Walker holiday tournament. That brought her career total to 3,022, which ranks eighth all-time in Minnesota girls' basketball. Noga will surely climb higher, too; Kierah Kimbrough of Badger-Greenbush-Middle River is No. 7 at 3,036 and Susan King of Holy Angels is No. 6 at 3,037. No. 5 is Janet Karvonen of New York Mills at 3,129.
Parkers Prairie is ranked third in Class 1A. The Panthers will take an 8-0 record into a game at Hillcrest Lutheran in Fergus Falls on Friday.
