Moore Honored For Hoops Success
The honors are starting to come in for former Warsaw basketball star Nic Moore.
The sophomore guard at Southern Methodist University has been chosen for the American Athletic Conference All-League team. The honor squad was chosen by the league’s coaches.
Moore, who led Warsaw to a Class 4-A state runner-up finish in 2010, is having a sensational season for the Mustangs. The 5-9 guard, who sat out last season after transferring from Illinois State, is averaging a team-high 13.9 points-per-game and also leading his team in assists at 4.7 per game.
Moore, who was the runner-up for Mr. Basketball honors after his senior season at WCHS in 2011, was also honored as a first-team selection to the NABC District 25 team.
Moore, who ranks second in Warsaw boys basketball history in career points scored, has led coach Larry Brown’s SMU squad to a 23-8 mark and a No. 25 national ranking.
SMU plays Houston Thursday at 1 p.m. in an opening round game of the American Athletic Conference Tournament in Memphis.
