Jazz Signs with North Central Texas College!

Jazzline Montgomery is a senior at Big Sandy High, and was recently offered a full two-year scholarship by Coach Angie Bullard to play volleyball for the upcoming season at North Central Texas College in Gainesville.  Jazz has played three years of high school volleyball on the varsity team.  She played Middle Blocker/Hitter.  Jazz missed her freshman year due to injury but was the team manager.  Jazz attended summer leagues and summer camps.  Jazz was selected her sophomore year as Newcomer of the Year, her junior year as MVP Hitter, and her senior year as MVP Blocker, All State Academic, and All East Texas Honorable Mention.  She was also the team's co-captain.  Jazz is also involved in other sports; she is currently playing basketball and participates in track.  Funny, a joy to be with, a leader, a friend, a great teammate, a volleyball idol, a role model, and a dose of daily laughter are a few descriptions of this fine athlete.  Sometimes it takes more than just ability. Attitude and effort are the key things in life, and I truly can say Jazz has these qualities.  She has a wonderful role model, her mother, Evangeline Hodge, who has raised her to be a fine young lady, and to be respectful of others and to work hard and not give up or quit.  My visits with Jazz and her mom have been memorable; they hold a special place in my heart.  (Coach Cooksey)

Congratulations to Jazz---put your best foot forward, and make every moment count.
