Congratulations to Yolonzo Moore a 2011 graduate of Austin's Akins High School who will be joining the Hawks of The University of Hartford in the fall of 2011.  Yo averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 assist per game as a senior. He was named District 15-5A player of the year but not only an offensive threat he also keyed the Akings pressure defense. He also earned a nomination to the McDonald’s All-American team for his stellar senior season.

“Yolonzo is a coach’s dream,” Akins coach David Peavy commented. “He is an ultimate leader and competitor. He leaves behind a great legacy at Akins High School, but I am sure he will start another one at Hartford.”

“Yolonzo is a tremendous athlete,” Gallagher said. “He’ll be our point guard of the future after Andres Torres. We really love his communication skills. We love the way he plays without the ball. He’s constantly moving, and is a tremendous on-the-ball defender.”


Congratulations Yo we look forward to seeing some great things from you at Hartford.
