Brandi Burris, a 2006 graduate of Fayette County High School, has signed with
the Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes basketball team in Americus, Ga.
Burris joins the Lady Canes after two successful seasons at Northwest Shoals
Community College, where the 5-9 guard averaged 12 points per game for the
Patriots while connecting on 29.2 percent of three-point shots and 71.2 percent
from the free throw line.
Burris was selected to both All-State and All-Region teams during her two years
at Northwest Shoals.
“Brandi is a strong pick up for us,” said Georgia Southwestern head coach Kelly Britsky. “She can do it all at the guard position, but we will probably concentrate her
efforts at the three position where she will bring strength and size.
”
“Coming from Northwest Shoals, she is not a stranger to hard work and she
understands what her role will be here at GSW.
I look forward to watching what Brandi will do for the Canes this year,” Britsky said.
Burris is the daughter of Dwight and Angela Burris of Fayette. She is the granddaughter of Joe and Pauline Burris of Fayette and Doris Gardner
of Liberty.
