The nickname itself is a winner, all by its lonesome: “Jazz.”

You should see her band.

The most impressive thing about any champion athlete is the effect they have on their team.

In that regard, few athletes in any sport last school year had as big an impact as Heritage ace Jazmine Geary, the 2016-17 Barley’s/Blount Press Row Female Athlete of the Year.

Down the stretch, she just tore it up.
