VOLLEYBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Amanda Nugent, South Forsyth

Senior outside hitter helped Lady War Eagles navigate struggles, success

ALL GROWN UP // South Forsyth senior Amanda Nugent holds a picture of herself at 10 years old when she played on a 12-under ProLink Volleyball Club team.

Toward the end of that season, I would be slamming my hands on the floor, like, Give me the ball! This crazy little munchkin who I had not been before. - photo by Micah Green
