Blue Becomes Fifth To Sign With Lady Blue Hose
CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian College head women’s basketball coach Jessica Vanco announced the signing of Liz Blue on Wednesday. Blue joins the Lady Blue Hose from Wheeler High School in Marietta, Ga.
“My coaching staff and I are extremely excited about what Liz brings to our program,” noted Vanco. “She is an extremely versatile player. She will probably play in the post for us in her freshman season, but with her skills we envision her as a guard in our system in the future.”
The 6-foot-1 Blue was a two-year starter at Wheeler. A captain during her senior season, Blue averaged 10.8 points-per-game, 8.4 rebounds-per-game and 1.6 blocks-per-game in the 2006-07 season.
Blue shot a team-best 51% from the field during her senior year and finished the year with five double-doubles.
Her numbers helped her attain numerous accolades, including All-County plaudits after her senior campaign. The Cobb County Player of the Month in November of 2006, Blue concluded her time with Wheeler with the senior academic award, which was awarded to the player on the women’s basketball team with the highest GPA on the squad.
Blue is one of five players to sign in PC’s inaugural NCAA Division I women’s basketball recruiting class. Erica Deahl will join PC from Lexington, S.C., Erin Doherty comes to PC from Denver, Colo., Katlin Moore joins the Lady Blue Hose program from Fort Mill, S.C., while Chelsea Wright will come to the PC women’s basketball program from Atlanta, Ga.
