“Jordan has grown so much since I met her in the ninth grade,” said Lawrence County coach Meleah Howard. “She really has stepped up her game and has worked extremely hard to get where she is. It has been a privilege to coach her. We will miss her next season, but we wish her the best of luck in whatever the future holds.”
