Peach County’s Woolfolk takes Florida State honors

          Her senior season at Florida State was cut short, but that likely didn’t lessen the honorifics that ended up heading to Peach County grad Nausia Woolfolk.

          Woolfolk made the ACC Tournament’s first team, and was third on the Seminoles with 14.2 points and 32.3 minutes a game, second with 5.2 rebounds, first with 1.5 steals, shooting 42.3 percent from the floor, 31.6 percent from three, and a team-best 78.3 percent at the line. She was good for 2.7 assists a game, second on the team.

          Woolfolk earned the team’s “grit and hustle” award and was named the team’s defensive player of the year.

          She led the Seminoles with 16.9 points and a 35.4-percent mark from three in games against top-50 RPI teams.

          FSU was 24-8, with a win over top seed Louisville and then a 71-66 loss to second seed N.C. State in the ACC Tournament championship.

          Woolfolk graduated in four years, FSU holding a virtual ceremony last week. The 22-year-old majored in interdisciplinary social sciences.

          She went undrafted by the WNBA last month, and all free-agent activities have been quiet amid the pandemic
