2008

GCCA Team of the Year

Mary Persons High School!

This twenty-member team from Forsyth, Georgia, did not realize how much they would have to rely on their team motto--“We believe in us”--until three season-ending injuries occurred in their starting sixteen. It took a lot of encouragement, exploration of new strategies, and promotion of team unity, along with new goals, to make this team successful. This team, known for its congenial manner and its individuals’ ability to work together as one, met the goals they set for the 2007 season.  

This team also was involved with many hours of community service and served as ambassadors for their school system by promoting spirit and service. Tailgate party appearances, community and school pep rallies, participating in a teacher adoption program in the elementary and middle schools, and wearing pink ribbons at games and competitions for Breast Awareness month were just a few of the ways these girls were able promote their sport, their spirit, and their sportsmanship for Mary Persons High School and the Monroe County School System.
