Character vs Player

Many believe that you should work and play to win at all cost, forgetting about honesty, integrity,  good character and sportsmanship. While winning is important and enjoyable, it is not as important as being a good sport for participation. Wins and losses come and go, but character is and will be vital at all times. We don't even remember who won the World Series three years ago, or who won the NCAA basketball championship two years ago, and for all practical purposes, it really doesn't matter to us now who won or lost. But what does matter now is the type of person you are; this is the critical topic 24/7. 

Students, always Choose the Right and you'll be a happy and successful person. The good news is that you can win and also be the best sport at the same time and enjoy the best of both worlds. The type of person you are is more crucial that winning, losing, or the level of your athletic skill. 

"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player."

I owe a lot to Mike Burge, my high school coach, as well as my high school teammates. An honor like this is always a tribute to your coaches and teammates, and anyone else who has helped you along the way.”

            A 1988 graduate of East Surry High School, Moss enjoyed a tremendous career with the Cardinals. He remainsEast Surry’s all-time leading scorer with nearly 1,400 points after earning All-Northwest 2A Conference honors three straight years and collecting league Player-of-the-Year in his senior season. He was also named All-State twice by the Winston-Salem Journal.

            The 6-8 Moss averaged 23.5 points during his junior year and pushed the margin to 27.0 ppg in his senior campaign, attracting the attention of college scouts. He went on to UNC Charlotte, where he was named to the 1989-90 Sun Belt Conference All-Freshman Team.
