Athens Drive girls basketball player Blair Williams is a senior who led her Lady Jaguars team to four straight seasons with double-digit wins. But Williams’ four-year totals off the court are perhaps even more impressive.
The final four-year total of money raised for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund by Williams’ Hoops for Hope game, an event she started for her school as a freshman, is $12,155.
