A sharp cut just below Justin Moore's right eye caught the attention of his mother, Keli, as she sat on the top bleachers of a packed gym in late January, eyes on her son as he brought the ball up the court.

"Now, wait," said Keli, watching Moore's DeMatha squad play the Patrick School in the N.J./D.C. Collision tournament. "Who did that to Justin? What happened? Did anyone see the play?"

With Moore's eye quickly starting to swell as he continued to knock down jump shots in the second quarter of DeMatha's 79-69 victory, Keli reached for her phone. Her eldest son was injured, and she wanted answers. Justin's uncle, Dwayne Moore, came over at halftime, breaking down the exact play and angle of the elbow hit, but he told Keli not to worry.
