Article on Abner Moreira

There was a nice article in the Idaho State Sports Journal about senior F Abner Moreira:

Abner Moreira never picked up a basketball until he was 15 years old.

Growing up in Brazil, he spent his time swimming, playing hand ball and soccer. The now 6-foot-9 senior forward for Idaho State played goal keeper during his time on the pitch.

Over the course of time, his friends eventually talked him into picking up hoops. That move has turned out to pay dividends for Moreira as basketball has allowed him to get an education in the United States.
