Moran was inducted alongside of Emile "Bevo" Gitard. Moran and Girard are Portland natives who were high school rivals turned classmates, teammates, roommates, and lifelong friends at MMA. 

Playing for Coach Davis Wiggins, both were four year starters, Girard at right guard and outside linebacker, and Moran at right tackle.  MMA’s record for those four years was 26-7. Moran was regarded as a very good player who was an “unsung hero”, never receiving enough recognition for his play.  Moran was named MMA’s “Most Improved Player” after his sophomore season.

Coaches and teammates considered Girard to be a very good player and praised him for his toughness.  He was named as an Honorable Mention member of the All-Maine Small College Football Team after his senior year.  After graduation he was named to the permanent team roster at the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana.
