Jalen Moore camp to benefit Fislar family
CLOVERDALE — A former Cloverdale High School basketball star will use his annual basketball camp to benefit a local family in its time of need.
The Jalen Moore Basketball Camp is set for Sunday, June 9 at Cloverdale High School. Normally a free event, the event will be $25 per student this year, with all proceeds going to the wife and kids of Deputy Fred Fislar.
“I was going to make it free. I planned on doing a camp before this tragedy happened,” Moore said. “I know it’s a difficult time for that family, and quite frankly everybody in Cloverdale that knew Freddy.”
Fislar, a Hendricks County sheriff’s deputy and CHS graduate, died April 15 after coming into contact with power lines while checking on the welfare of a motorist who had wrecked. He left behind wife Maddy and two children, aged six years and six months.
The camp will run from noon-4 p.m. and is open to boys and girls age 7-17.
“It’s a chance for the community to come together and support her and her kids,” Moore said. “I think we can make some good money for them.”
A camp T-shirt will be included in the registration fee, and placing the shirt order also necessitates a May 24 deadline for registering. Moore noted that anyone signing up after May 24 will need to pay an extra $10 for a shirt.

Additionally, anyone who would like to help sponsor the camp and help out the Fislar family may contact Moore at jalenmoore@oakland.edu or 317-599-8830. Anyone wanting a company name or logo on the back of the shirts may do so for $100, again with proceeds benefiting the Fislar family.
Moore was a four-year letterman for the Clovers and finished his career with 2,440 points, 12th-most in IHSAA history. As a senior, he scored a state-high 1,031 points (36.8 PPG) as a senior, the third-highest mark in IHSAA single-season history.
After high school, Moore went on to star for two years at Olney Central College and then three more years at NCAA Division I Oakland University. Over three seasons with the Grizzlies, he averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 assists and 2.0 assists per game.
Not a Cloverdale native, Moore said he has always felt welcomed in the community and wants to give back.
“They welcomed me with open arms my eighth-grade year when I came there,” Moore said. “It’s been nothing but love, so anything I can do to help the community, help grow the community, and help those kids.
“Whatever I can do, it’s pure joy from my heart just to help the community and help kids.”
