RN-T.com - GNTC team honors GSD
Former Georgia School for the Deaf basketball star Brittney Daughtry, who now plays for Georgia Northwestern Technical College, had quite a following at Thursday’s game between the Lady Cats and West Georgia Tech at Shorter University’s Winthrop-King Centre.
GSD students, faculty, staff and supporters attended the game, which paid tribute to the state’s only residential deaf school located in Cave Spring.
Members of the GSD faculty performed the National Anthem to open the game, and the school’s step team performed during the half.
The Lady Cats were edged by West Georgia Tech, 72-71.
“Brittney is a success story for our students,” said GSD principal Leslie Jackson. “They witnessed the result of her hard work, determination, and positive attitude. Seeing this role model in action is an invaluable lesson.
“GSD is so proud of Brittney and the strides that she has made in her education,” she added. “Her opportunity to play for GNTC is a testament to her personal drive, and the opportunities that she was given at GSD. She is a poster child for the positive benefits of direct instruction in ASL for deaf students, and the hand-in-hand relationship between sports opportunities and academic success.”
