"I'm sure it sounds weird, but I'm glad I had that experience," Moore says. "It teaches you a good lesson everyone should learn, a good personal lesson." Doug Moore is far older than his 18 years, and he wants football to continue to be a part of his life past high school The University of Nebraska is just one school interested in having Moore continue his close association with football But that poses another problem. As a traveller all his life, he's not sure if hell remain in Lincoln. "That's one of my big concerns right now," Moore says. "I'm not sure what I'll do.

I guess Fve got until February to figure it out" That's one part of his life Doug Moore will have control of. Adjustment to that situation should be a snap. tion changed, but not the game. It was always fun. I always played it, and I always enjoyed it" The final move, to his aunt and uncles house in Lincoln after the plane crash, was the hardest to make.

"It was a pretty big change," he admits. "I was kind of thrown into the situation. Middle teens are a pretty important part of your life. I guess it took me up until last year to really adjust to everything that had happened." Football helped make that adjustment easier. "Coach Frost (Larry) has helped me an awful lot through this," Moore says of the Links' head coach.

"He's a pretty special guy. He took a personal interest in me, which a lot of coaches might not have bothered to do." That personal interest included some discipline last year that kept Moore out 'r.
