Geremiah Moore is an 18-year-old senior point guard and quarterback for the Northwest Grizzlies, and he said now that his final season on the gridiron has passed, he’s looking forward to stepping on the hardwood. 

“Our team this year is very athletic,” Moore said. “I think we will give a lot of teams problems. Our goal as a team in just to continue to improve and then work our way to state. The goals I have for myself are just to continue to get better and better and help lead my team there. I also want to make first team All-City.” 

As a senior leader, Moore said he realizes there is more to the game than just scoring the most buckets or making the most assists. 

“I have always been a leader by the position I hold on both teams,” he said. “So, to me, being a leader comes naturally. I am a competitor and I want to win. I feel like if you want to win, you will do anything to win. I help my younger teammates out by doing what I would want someone to do for me when I was in their position. I try to give as much advice as possible, and I have a good relationship with everyone because I can’t lead them if I don’t know their flaws and how they react in certain situations.” 

Moore said he doesn’t get much free time, but in the limited time he gets, he tries to catch up on sleep or workouts. After high school, he said he’d like to continue playing sports, and he has offers on the table from Army, Navy, Indiana, Missouri, and others. He said he’s undecided on a major at this time.
