When he tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in January 2017, DeMatha's Justin Moore had two main goals: get back on the court and win a Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title. His first objective long since accomplished, Moore has had just one thing left on his checklist.

And on Sunday, in DeMatha's WCAC semifinal against O'Connell at Bender Arena, the junior guard took one big step closer to achieving his goal. Moore led all scorers with 34 points in DeMatha's 74-63 win, sending the Stags to face Gonzaga in Monday's title game at ­­­8­ p.m. on the same court.

"A year ago, he had a big knee brace on and couldn't do anything," DeMatha Coach Mike Jones said. "He's the type of kid that won't quit when he's so hungry, and he works so hard, and tonight was one of those nights that no matter what was happening, he was going to will us to a win."
