MyKayla Moran, Hamilton Heights’ senior, has signed a letter of intent to play basketball for Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana this fall. Hanover College is a member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) and a NCAA Division III athletic institution. She is the daughter of Cherry and Ron Moran.
It was the Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology program, beautiful campus, and family atmosphere created by the women’s basketball team that made this liberal arts institution in southern Indiana Moran’s top pick to pursue her education and play collegiate basketball. She liked the fact that she would have many opportunities to gain hands-on experience with athletic trainers as she works toward becoming a Certified Athletic Trainer. In terms of the women’s basketball program, the coaches and players were warm and welcoming. She felt like she could excel in the classroom and on the court at Hanover.
