Two of the metro area's top basketball players became the all-time scoring leaders for their respective programs last week.

Osseo senior Ian Theisen, who will play Division I basketball at South Dakota State, did it with his 18th and final point in a victory against Coon Rapids. Theisen broke the Osseo career scoring record of 1,492 points, previously held by 2002 graduate Bryan Foss.

Theisen rose to fame as a sophomore, hitting a 15-foot jump shot with no time remaining that gave Osseo a 49-47 victory over Lakeville North and the Class 4A state title.

Anoka senior Claire Lundberg, who will play at Seton Hall, scored 14 points in a victory against Maple Grove, raising her career total to 1,136.

She passed the 1,000-point plateau earlier this season and leads the Tornadoes with 14.5 points per game.
