Caleb Burgress takes the stage at the Big South Shootout.

Duluth, GA - At this years Big South Shootout, Moravian Prep made the trip from Hickory, North Carolina to provide the days best game. Lead by point guard Caleb Burgress, Moravian left Georgia with a huge win against a nationally ranked Huntington Prep. 

"It felt real good to get a win today. We just looked and they were 19th in the country so it's real good."

Burgress stat line shows a well rounded player that can affect the game in a multitude of ways. His play prompted a quick tweet on what was shown throught out the game.

Burgress echoed the same thoughts when asked about his play this season. 

"I fell like i've been playing really good. This has been my best year. My points havent been as high, but overall, its been my best year. I've been playing defensive, leading my team. More vocal this year. Scoring, steals and rebounds. This is my best year by far. "

Moravian head coach Antonio Lowe also raved about his lead guards play.

"We took Oak Hill into overtime. I think he had 22 against them. Since that game, it's been his coming out party. Huntington was our 4th or 5th nationally ranked game. We go as he goes. He's a dog Thats what separates him from a lot of others. That's what separates him."

It wasn't exactly a coming out party as Burgress carries offers from Hofstra, USC Upstate and now St Bonaventure as they watched his 19 point, 7 rebounds, and 7 assist outing. Despite having a couple of offers, it did feel as if Burgress was playing for more to come.  

"We expect Towson and UNBC to offer soon. They've all been very consistent with his recruitment." coach Lowe said. "Towson, UMBC, and Purdue Fort Wayne should probably be my next three." said Burgress. "They are on me real hard. They talk to me everyday. Actually, I have Towson and UMBC coming in on Saturday."

When asked about potential visits, Burgress had his eye on a few he would like to pursue.  

"I know Hofstra is going to be one of them. Hofstra and St Bonaventure. There's alot of high major schools that are waiting to see. If anyone transfers, and just what they need. Cinncinati, schools like was like that just told me to wait until the late signing period. But, I know those two schools though."
