Ryan Moffet's new record is 3,216 points

Moffet’s high score continues to rise in state championship

Ryan Moffet, an Odessa native, finished his four years of high school basketball with not only a state championship in the 1B classification but also the state scoring record with 3,216 points in which he was up against players from the 1B to the 4A classifications. He and his teammates formed a cohesive unit that had matured over the high school careers of its members. By the time Moffet and his five fellow seniors qualified for the state tournament, they had proven themselves over an undefeated season. Following the championship game, they were 27-0 and justifiably proud.

Moffet’s interview with SWX (NBC affiliate) reporter Taylor Brooks following the championship game was a hit with many fans and reporters covering the state tournament. The interview was picked up by many other news organizations. What to some may have appeared to be a rather crude statement about “pissing excellence” was actually a quote from Will Farrell’s character in the movie Talladega Nights.

Moffet is the youngest child of Larry and Heidi Moffet of Odessa. His older brother Adrian Moffet was also a standout basketball player for Moses Lake Christian Academy. His older sister is Charli (Moffet) King, also a high school basketball player for Odessa High during her school days.
