FLORENCE - University of North Alabama women’s head basketball coach Terry Fowler has announced the addition of Georgia Myrex for the upcoming recruiting class. The Cold Spring High School recruit has signed a National Letter of Intent and will play for the Lions next season.

Myrex was a first team All-State selection as a sophomore and a junior while helping lead the Lady Eagles to consecutive Class 2A state championships in 2008 and 2009. The 5-8 guard has scored more than 1,000 career points entering her senior season. She averaged 17.6 points per game as a junior and was the 12th- ranked player in the state according to the Birmingham News Super Senior List.

“We are very fortunate to have a student-athlete the caliber of Georgia join our program,” said Fowler. “She is a tireless worker, a great competitor and leads by example on and off the court. She is also a very skilled basketball player who has the ability to handle, pass and shoot it very well. We are very excited that she chose to be a part of the UNA community.”
