Baseball: Jared Moon

Jared Moon is in his fifth season at the helm of the HBU baseball program, leading the Huskies to an 11-40 mark against such competition as Baylor, Stephen F. Austin and Dallas Baptist. In 2008, HBU went 23-24 in its first season at the NCAA Division I level.

In 2007, Moon helped guide the Huskies to arguably the greatest season in school history. HBU finished 44-20 overall, winning the Region VI title for the first time, and advancing to the Mid-South Super-Regional and the NAIA World Series.

After losing the first game of the national tournament in Lewiston, the Huskies ran off four straight victories to reach the final four. HBU fell to the eventual national champion Lewis-Clark State College and finished in third place at the season-culminating event in its first and only appearance. It was the deepest postseason run ever for HBU.

He was named the Red River and Region VI Coach of the Year in 2006 after leading the Huskies to a 40-16-1 mark and a seventh Red River Athletic Conference title in his rookie year as skipper of his alma mater.

After a successful playing career in a Husky baseball uniform, Moon spent  10 seasons as an assistant coach during which time HBU won six conference championships and competed in the NAIA Regional Tournament six times.

Moon attended Aldine High School where he received All-District and Most Valuable Player honors. He was a three-year letterman for HBU, batting .356 as a junior and setting the HBU single game record for most hits with five.

Moon led the 1994 Huskies to HBU baseball's first-ever national ranking and a runner-up finish in the District playoffs, batting .579 for the tournament.

Moon earned his degrees in history and human kinetics, as well as his master's degree in education at HBU. He enjoys fishing, golf, softball and playing with his two dogs Elvis and Duke. He is married to the former Tonja Vick, and the couple has a four-year old daughter, Camryn.
