Grandview’s Colby Moore (12). (Matt Minton)
The defending NCAA lacrosse national champions are getting some help from Grandview, just not for a couple of years.
About-to-be-sophomore defenseman Colby Moore announced on Twitter Thursday afternoon that he has committed to play lacrosse for the Pioneers.
Thank you to all my friends and family for supporting me through this process. I can happily say that I’m a Pioneer. pic.twitter.com/zZHMCpUpCg

Moore appeared in 13 games for the Wolves in 2014, scoring only once and totaling two points, but was big on the defensive side of the ball.
He will stay close to home and play for the first program outside of the eastern time zone to win a national lacrosse championship.
He still has three more years to help Grandview win a state title. The Wolves fell to Kent Denver 12-8 in the first round of last year’s Class 5A tournament.
The 2018 recruiting database has been updated to reflect Moore’s commitment.
