Moore avoided fouling out. But it wasn't enough for the Patriots as they lost 64-60 in the boys' Class 5 semifinal.
"Sometimes you give your best, and that's all you can do," Moore said.
Moore finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks.
Moore, who stands 6 feet, 10 inches and wears size-16 shoes, dominated inside the entire game. One possession, Moore missed a shot, went over two Webster Groves defenders, and put the ball back in the basket.
"He just disrupts everything in there," Webster Groves coach Jay Blossom said. "Even when he isn't directly involved in the play he affects the game."
