MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Next stop for Tinara Moore: professional basketball.
Moore, who recently completed an outstanding career in helping lead Central Michigan to the best women’s basketball season in the 50 years of the program, has signed a training-camp contract with the Washington Mystics of the WNBA.
The native of Southgate and the first Associated Press All-American in CMU program history, leaves Monday for Washington, D.C. The Mystics camp is scheduled to begin on April 29.
“Definitely going to have to get stronger, show them that even though I am smaller that I can compete with bigger women,” the 6-foot-2 Moore said on Monday at the Chippewa Athletic Awards at Plachta Auditorium, where she accepted CMU’s Female Athlete of the Year Award.
