NEW YORK - Presbyterian College men's basketball signee Darius Moore (Greensboro, N.C.) and his Greensboro (N.C.) Day School Bengals will play in the DICK’S Sporting Goods High School Nationals tournament this week in New York.
Seventh-seeded Greensboro (33-2) will play in the third game of the quarterfinals on Thursday at 4 p.m. against No. 2 Montverde (Fla.), the two-time reigning tournament champions. The game will be televised on ESPNU.
Current PC players DeSean Murray and Davon Bell played for Northside Christian Academy in last year's tournament.
The tournament will be held April 2-4 in New York and will be televised live on various ESPN Networks. The quarterfinal and semifinal rounds will be at Christ the King High in Middle Village, N.Y., with the championship at Madison Square Garden.
Moore serves as the starting point guard for the Bengals, who enter the tournament ranked No. 17 in USA Today's Super 25.
Moore earned First Team honors on the Greensboro News & Record All-Area Team while helping the Bengals to the NCISAA boys basketball state championship.
