Allan Lankfard scored 21 and Henry Acker added 19 as Central (10-3) topped Highland Park (9-4) in a battle of unbeaten teams in the St. Paul City Conference, 73-70.
Central led by 10 points at halftime but the second half tightened up, thanks in no small part to Highland Park’s Xavier May, who scored a game-high 24 points. He was the only Highland Park player in double digits; however, five others had at least seven points.
Central has now won nine games in a row and will face another tough test, playing third-place Johnson Thursday.

Eagan 51, Prior Lake 46: Lydia Schmitter scored 12 and Jocelyn McClary added 11 to propel Eagan (11-6) past Prior Lake (8-6).

McNair scored 20 points, but only two other Lakers scored more than three points. Meanwhile a balanced Eagan attack helped fuel the Wildcats to victory. Six players scored for Eagan, all of them with at least six points.
The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Prior Lake.

Stillwater 4, Woodbury 3: Brody Dustin scored five minutes into overtime as Stillwater (9-4-3) overcame a two goal deficit to beat Woodbury (10-6-1).
Aiden Grossklaus and Joey Moeller scored in quick succession at the tail end of the first period and into the second period to give Woodbury an early lead — but that was just the beginning of a high-flying second that saw five goals scored. The Ponies quickly answered with two goals of their own before Woodbury pushed back in front thanks to a Mason Rudin goal. However, Ty Tuccitto tied it up in the closing moments of the second and the score remained tied 3-3 until overtime.
Dustin’s overtime goal was his sixth of the season and marked the fourth consecutive game the sophomore has scored. The loss moves Woodbury to 2-5-1 in Suburban East play.
