As mentioned on our message boards, it looks as American will be Mason’s home opener for 2013. The two teams last met in the BB&T in 2005, where Mason crushed the Eagles 75-35. American and Mason haven’t played since, but with former coach Jeff Jones now at ODU, the two look to renew the series. American used to be a member of the CAA, but left in 2001 to join the Patriot.

Paul Hewitt and staff received a commitment from the 6’2 point guard. Moore, much like current Patriot Bryon.
