OXFORD – Thanks to the one-two offensive punch of Barrett Moddelmog and Kreighton Kanitz, the Moundridge boys opened the back half of the 2023-24 schedule on Tuesday by rolling to an 81-44 win on the road at Oxford.

The Wildcats jumped all over Oxford in the first quarter in taking a commanding 17-point, 29-12 lead before putting another 27 points on the board in the second quarter to open up the advantage to 37-point, 56-19 lead going into the halftime break.

After adding five more points to the lead in the third quarter, Oxford was able to chip a few points off the lead as Moundridge still rolled in for the final 34 point, 81-44 victory.

Barrett Moddelmog was unstoppable from the outside on offense as he drilled seven three-pointers on his way to finishing with a game high 33 points, with 15 points coming in the second quarter.

It was Kreighton Kanitz who put the big points on the board in the opening eight minutes as he scored 16 of his 20 points in the opening eight minutes of play. Kaizer Kanitz also reached double digits with 10 points and nine Wildcats put at least a pair of points in the scorebook.

As a team, Moundridge hit on 25 two-point shots, went 10-of-13 at the free throw line that included a perfect 8-for-8 by Moddelmog and Kreighton Kanitz.
