“This group of student-athletes fought through adversity and never wavered in their commitment to excellence,” said Coach Parker. “I’m incredibly proud of their accomplishments and excited to see what the future holds for them.”
As Moran looks ahead to the next chapter, his time at Northwest will be remembered as a period of growth, achievement, and championship success.
