When Mesabi East basketball player Hannah Hannuksela reached the 2,000-point career milestone last week, she joined her brother Hunter in the 2,000 club. They became the fifth family in Minnesota with a brother-sister combination to score 2,000 points.

The first to do so was the McDonalds of Chisholm fame. Other schools to have 2,000-point scorers from one family come from Braham, Cambridge-Isanti and Barnum.
