“We are pleased he has joined our staff,” Lincoln

basketball all his life; from the basketball playground to college
basketball. During his junior, and senior years in high school he
was recognized for excellent sportsmanship, and scoring a minimum
of 17 points per game.
Moore’s duties will include pre-season conditioning,
assisting with practice and games, academic reports, and
