FORT LAUDERDALE — CBS News Miami is delighted to introduce this week’s nominee for the Nat Moore Trophy: West Broward High School’s wide receiver Joshua Moore.
CBS News Miami’s Trish Christakis shares his remarkable journey and the extraordinary bond he shares with his mother, sharing how he has no option but to succeed.
“I wanna be the best at everything I do, I don’t wanna be beaten so I’ll do anything to not be beaten,” Moore said.
His large stature and stats speak for themselves but it’s the reason why he works so hard that sets him apart.
“I moved up here my ninth-grade year just to get away from all the distractions in Miami and all the violence that was going on,” Morre said.
From Overtown to Pembroke Pines, Moore’s parents moved him and his two brothers from Miami-Dade to Broward County.
“The people that were around me and that I was hanging around it was all…..like, they did not have my best interest and around that time in Miami it was dangerous,” he said. “There were a lot of shootings a lot of child shootings and everything so my parents just really wanted to take me out of that situation and put me in a better place”
