TWO SOUTH
COBB BASKETBALL PLAYERS SHOW COMPASSION AS THEY SET TO COMPETE IN
THE COURTNEY S. CROOMS MEMORIAL BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
 
South Cobb basketball seniors, (pictured left
to right) Brodnisha Taylor and
Eniya Edwards will represent Cobb County in a memorial
basketball tournament held annually in honor of
a fallen female player.
The Courtney S. Crooms (CSC) Foundation is proud to have
these two outstanding student athletes as members of the 2012 CSC
Team competing in the tournament held each year in Courtney's honor,
a 14-year old basketball player, who died in a tragic auto accident
after returning home from an AAU Basketball tournament.
E. Meshal Crooms, co-founder and president of
the foundation (pictured in the center), and her husband Derick
founded the 501©3 organization in their daughter’s name to preserve
her legacy, and continue her love for the sport vicariously through
other female student athletes.
This tournament represents her spirit, passion and motivation
to raise funds and a higher level of appreciation for other female
basketball players as they continue to develop their skills and
compete. The tournament
also awards grants to promising female basketball players.
This year's event, held May 18th-20th, 2012
marks the fifth year of the tournament, which showcases the talent
of some of the best players in the southeast, including Georgia,
Alabama and Florida. Courtney’s motto:
“Live life with passion and purpose, and play each game as if
it were your last!”, says it all.
