@ApolloFan98Moss at Daviess County???  He's an Owensboro Senior kid - or was last year.  I was wondering how DC made such a significant jump this year.

Moss went back to DC where he played as an 8th grader. Then they also got a 6’6-6’7 transfer in from Madisonville.

As Ordell stated, Moss went back to DC and was joined by Watkins from Madisonville.  Add them to an already talented roster with Gage Phelps and this is what you are getting.
