Brandon Moore had a great career at Blair Oaks, playing for Fick from 2008 to 2011.


“He didn’t just teach me the game of basketball; he fundamentally changed the trajectory of my life, opening doors and creating oppor- tunities I never could have imagined for myself,” said Moore. “To this day, I am proud to call him both a mentor and a friend.” In March, Fick ended his third year as head coach at Capital City High School.
