Georgia girls' basketball
Kori Penland Gordon Lee
Name an award and Kori Pe it.All-area, all-state, player o it. Not that she doesn't appre for four amazing years in Ch just that she would rather fo teams were able to achieve. Which is why a senior seaso produced 25 wins, including an elite eight state playoff appearance, was so special to the soon-to-be University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Lady Moc. "It was a lot of fun this year because we were all so close," said Penland, who will leave Gordon "We jelled early, which made it so fun. I wish we could have gone further, but we gave it all we had." The four-time Best of Preps first-team all-star averaged 23 points, six assists, three steals and five rebounds this year, despite seeing gimmick y every night designed to put s on her. She rarely, if ever, came testament to a conditioning as toughened up a player who, by sion,"was really small when I
tarted working out for her next challenge: blending in with the Lady Mocs. "I'm so excited to be a part of that program," she said."They just won their latest championship, and Coach (Wes) Moore does such a great job. I'm lifting weights, shooting and working on my defense. I can't wait to get there in the fall." TEAMS OF THE YEAR NORTHWEST (18-10) Forget the record, which suffered during an
early-season swoon. The Lady Bruins
were one of the top teams in Class
AAAA at the end of the season. GORDON LEE (24-6) Kori Penland gave the team star power, and
the supporting cast improved from day
one to make the Lady Trojans a Class A
contender.
