Editor’s note: This is the third of a three-part series about Montana State all-American Troy Andersen. The first part published in print Nov. 26 and the second published Nov. 27.

In the midst of gearing up for a postseason push, Montana State carved out time for community service. Philanthropy efforts, in Bozeman and well outside of the state, have been a cornerstone of the program for years.

Cole Moore, a former director of operations for the Bobcats, organized some of those campaigns. Troy Andersen, one of the Bobcats’ best players the team has seen, didn’t even need Moore to ask if he would be available to help out. The multiple-time all-American was usually the first to sign up.
