VALLEY CITY, N.D. – Dickinson High School senior guard Aanen Moody has made North Dakota Class A boys basketball history.

Moody broke the state's unofficial Class A career points scoring record on Tuesday, February 21 in a Western Dakota Association road game against Williston.

Moody entered the game with 1,996 points needing seven points to eclipse former Fargo Shanley A.J. Jacobson's record of 2,002 points set in 2013. Jacobson now plays basketball at North Dakota State.

The 6-foot-2 University of North Dakota commit broke the record during the first half of Tuesday game in Williston.

Moody scored 35 points in a conference win against Jamestown on Saturday to put him No. 2 on the all-time Class A boys scoring list kept by the North Dakota Hoopster Magazine. He surpassed former Valley City standout Jeff Boschee who scored 1,994 points in his prep career. 

The Class A boys basketball scoring list is maintained and published annually in the North Dakota Hoopster Magazine.
