Archbishop Moeller (Ohio) senior Brendan Sigurdson became just the second player in program history to record at least 300 career points and took over the lead for most assists.

The Cleveland State commit has 306 career points, which is second only to Pat Kennedy who tallied 344 and has held the record since 1997. He is the ninth-known player in Ohio history to surpass 300 career points.

Sigurdson’s 140 career assists breaks Kennedy’s record of 136 to become the Crusaders all-time leader. The senior is third all-time with 166 career goals. He needs only five more to pass alum Brandon Sallee for second.

With a few games remaining for Moeller, Sigurdson is already among the state’s Top 10 leading scorers.

Wyatt Fruland of Indian Hill (Ohio) has been making his way up the Ohio record book this season. In April he joined the 300 Club and on May 16 he passed Kennedy for third on the all-time point list.

It’s likely that the senior will end up among the Top 2 leading scorers of all-time. Next up on the list is Mat Wilson from Western Reserve Academy (Ohio). Connor Buczek from St. Xavier (Ohio) is No. 1 on the list with 410 career points.
