Moore collected additional honors over the weekend. On Saturday, the Associated Press named him to their All-State list. 

On Sunday, Moore was named Voyager Media Player of the Year prior to the Voyager Media All-Star game. He was then named MVP of the Voyager Media All-Star game, scoring 27 points and bringing the house down with a few poster dunks.
