Marquise Moore, who whose smooth
shooting and heady play helped Holy Cross High to a birth in the CHSAA
"AA" finals last year has verbally committed to play at Hofstra
University next season.
The 6'2" combo guard is currently finishing a post graduate year at
St. Thomas Moore (CT) Prep where he played for former Molloy standout Jere
Quinn. It should be noted that
Marquise's decision to enter prep school was motivated in part by the fact that
he completed his high school education at 16 and while there was limited
division one interest last season the post grad year gave him time to develop
physically and paid off in the form of scholarship offers from Cleveland State,
Fairfield, Rider and his school of choice Hofstra. Under Holy Cross coach Paul
GIlvary Moore had become one of New York City's most versatile scorers and developed
a terrific middle distance game. He took the post grad year even though he was
already academically qualified to accept a division one scholarship.
Moore is an important recruit for
coach Mo Cassera and the Pride as they begin to rebuild following the sad
episode that resulted in the dismissal of 4 players in December. Not only have
they added a quality scorer and leader on the court but a great student and
person off the court. Congratulations to
Marquise and his family and best wishes for continued success.
