THE WEEK: Scored 24 points and pulled down 16 rebounds as the Riders won 52-41 at Hodgson last Tuesday. Added 10 points as CR (2-1) won 65-52 at Cape Henlopen on Friday.
THE KNOWLEDGE: “She’s smart. She’s got a high basketball IQ,” Caesar Rodney coach Bill Victory said. “She is a sharing person. She’s all about her teammates; she wants things to be good for everybody. So she kind of puts herself last, and because of that it kind of makes it really good for everybody that plays with her. She’s a great teammate.”
THE IMPROVEMENT: Moseley missed eight layups and scored only one point in the Riders’ first game, a 57-55 loss to archrival Dover. She bounced back and was much sharper to dominate inside against a quick Hodgson team. “I just made sure I put the ball where it needed to be, high above the square on the basket,” she said.
THE FAST BREAK: The 5-foot-11 Moseley isn’t the Riders’ fastest player, but she still runs the floor well to make herself an option in CR’s transition game. “She makes that dive from elbow to the block and scores the layup on our early break, just the way it’s supposed to be done,” Victory said. “She did it just like a yeoman.”
THE MOTIVATON: “I’m going to keep pushing myself harder and harder each week, every day at practice, to make sure I keep getting better and better,” Moseley said.
THE EXPERIENCE: The Riders have only three seniors, and face a tough stretch of 10 consecutive road games after opening with one game at home. “I’m the senior that has the most experience on the team, and I have to lead them,” Moseley said.
THE CLASSROOM: “My favorite class right now is CPR,” Moseley said. “It’s a hands-on class, and it’s very fun to do. You can get your CPR certification through this class.”
THE FUTURE: Moseley has already been accepted to Tennessee and Towson, but is also considering Kean, George Washington and Delaware. She may or may not continue to play basketball, but plans to major in occupational therapy or speech pathology.
