Perry High's Burgess signs with Fort Valley State

PERRY --Kim Burgess already had the royal blue and gold of Fort Valley State running through her veins. On Tuesday, she made it official when the Perry High basketball player signed a letter of intent to play at one of the top Division II programs.

"My mom (Paula King) went there," Burgess said. "My grandmother had nine kids and of those nine, seven went to Fort Valley State. So it was kind of natural to go there."
Burgess also got to know the program very well by participating in group and individual camps conducted by the coaching staff.
