Kayden Mingo led LuHI with 25 points, four rebounds and three assists, while Dylan Mingo chipped in 20 points, seven rebounds and two assists, carrying the offensive load for their high school squad.

The Mingo brothers combined for an impressive 16 of 24 shooting clip in the game as the two dominated Columbus from inside the paint to the 3-point arc.

According to ESPN, Kayden Mingo had five Division 1 offers before signing with Penn State in November. Meanwhile, the 6-foot-5 Dylan still has one more year left in high school, but already has college offers from several schools including Missouri, Virginia Tech and Dayton.

La La Anthony has been immersed in the high school basketball scene since her 17-year-old Kiyan Anthony has also been a household name in the circuit.

Kiyan also plays for LuHi in New York, joining the team in 2023 after transferring from Christ the King High School in Queens.

Kiyan has been ranked as one of the top shooting guards in the country in the Class of 2025.

Kiyan signed with Syracuse after six offers from other schools, including USC. His father Carmelo Anthony was the last star player who led the Syracuse Orange to the National Championship in 2003 before entering the NBA draft.
