The Mustangs overcame a double-double from [player_tooltip player_id='1076352' first='Maurio' last='Hanson'] (12 pts, 14 rebs) and a combined 28 points from [player_tooltip player_id='2023905' first='Tarris' last='Bouie'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1682357' first='Markus' last='Kerr'] to squeeze out a 63-61 victory.

Moye led the way with 21 points (8-14 FG) while sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2055671' first='Ben' last='Houpt'] finished with 10 points and six rebounds.

He's averaging 24.0 PPG, 4.0 APG, 3.0 RPG and 2.0 SPG through three games so far for the Tigers as they're out to a 2-1 start on the young season with a loss to Davidson Day School in the NCISAA. He's slowly becoming a name to track as he emerges as a name for DII and DIII programs in the area to get to know. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1614288' first='Chris' last='Uwayo'] starts the season with 32 points</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1614288' first='Chris' last='Uwayo'] looks ready to pick up where he left off last season with Panther Creek High after opening the season with a 32-point outing on 12-of-15 shooting from the floor. He's an efficient scorer who is really lethal when he gets going and should be key to the Catamounts success in 2023-24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
