Fayette High School alumnus Quincy Moore ‘92 delivered a passionate program on growing up fatherless and the power of forgiveness on Thursday, Dec. 11, in the high school gym. Moore marked his return by kissing center court, then delivered an emotional testimony about his life, particularly his high school years, growing up without a father.

Later, he challenged two girls and two boys basketball players to a game of PIG on his old high school court. He then stuck around to have lunch with some of the students and reunited with former teachers and coaches.

“Many students were able to connect with the pain of not having a relationship with their biological father, but more than that, they were able to receive an extremely high level of encouragement to see themselves as ‘The Asset’ and that anything is possible with hard work, resilience and mental toughness through the power of forgiveness,” Moore said after his presentation.

“The atmosphere was like a school reunion filled with nothing but positive energy. The love I received from my hometown was more than I can even describe. There are some future superstars within the FHS student body, mark my words!!”

Moore is currently working on speaking to other schools within the region.
