To watch one history-making athlete chase a career scoring record is extraordinary. To watch two athletes do it nearly in step is extraordinarily special.

Crosby-Ironton’s Tori Oehrlein and Providence Academy’s Maddyn Greenway are both in the running for Minnesota’s all-time girls basketball career scoring record — the pair clear atop the leaderboard as postseason play begins.

This season, Oehrlein is averaging 38.1 points per game through 26 games played. Greenway is averaging 36.1 points per game through 26 games played as of Saturday, Feb. 21.

The pair’s current totals as of Feb. 21 are:

  • Oehrlein: 5,417
  • Greenway: 5,394 points

On Feb. 6, Greenway’s season-high 57 points helped the Lions earn a 107-81 win over Class 3A’s Hill-Murray. She hit the 5,000 mark with a 37-point performance at Blake on Jan. 30.

On Jan. 20, Oehrlein broke the girls record of 5,060 points, set by Braham’s Rebekah Dahlman in 2013. On Jan. 29, she broke the all-time state record of 5,119 set by former Lakeview Christian Academy boys basketball player Anders Broman in 2013.

Records already rewritten

Both of the senior point guards’ names are already scrawled in the state record books.

Greenway is a Kentucky commit, the two-time reigning Strib Varsity All-Minnesota Girls Basketball Player of the Year (formerly All-Metro) and a four-time Class 2A basketball champion. She holds the state record for assists in a career (1,113 as of early January and counting) and career points scored at the state tournament (439).

This past fall, playing soccer, Greenway even broke the state’s single-season and career goal-scoring records, too.

Oehrlein, a Gophers commit and no stranger to quadruple-doubles, owns Minnesota’s all-time rebounding record (2,224 boards and counting as of early January) and the single-game assist record (21). She helped Crosby-Ironton reach its first Class 2A title game last year, facing off against Providence Academy.

In Minnesota, the pair are the only two girls basketball players to have reached 1,000 career points, assists and rebounds. They are also two of only four players in the 4,000-point club, alongside Dahlman and Minnehaha Academy alum Addi Mack, who is in the midst of a standout freshman season at Maryland.

When Dahlman set the existing state record, she eclipsed the 3,888 career points set by eventual WNBA first-round draft pick Tayler Hill, who graduated from Minneapolis South in 2009.
