In an emotional and unforgettable moment, Georgia Amoore solidified her legacy as one of the greatest players in Virginia Tech women’s basketball history — if not the greatest point guard the program has ever seen. With the clock winding down in her final regular-season home game, fans inside Cassell Coliseum erupted into a thunderous standing ovation, paying tribute to the player who has become the heart and soul of the Hokies.
Tears welled in Amoore’s eyes as she soaked in the overwhelming appreciation from the crowd — a moment that will forever be etched in Virginia Tech history. But what made this standing ovation even more powerful was the praise that followed from her head coach, who boldly declared Georgia Amoore **the best point guard to ever wear a Hokies jersey** — and predicted she’s destined for WNBA stardom.
From Underdog to Unstoppable
Georgia Amoore’s journey to this unforgettable night has been nothing short of inspiring. The Australian native arrived at Virginia Tech as a talented but relatively unknown recruit. Over the years, she transformed into the heartbeat of the Hokies — a fearless floor general with ice in her veins and a knack for delivering in clutch moments.
Her relentless work ethic, leadership, and unwavering confidence turned her into one of the most dynamic point guards in college basketball. Amoore played a pivotal role in leading Virginia Tech to its first-ever **Final Four appearance** in 2023, capturing the hearts of fans along the way.
“She’s the best point guard to ever play at Virginia Tech — and it’s not even close,” head coach Kenny Brooks said, fighting back emotions during the postgame press conference. “What she’s meant to this program goes beyond the stat sheet. She’s the type of player that comes around once in a generation. The WNBA better be ready for Georgia Amoore.”
The Standing Ovation That Shook Cassell Coliseum
As Amoore checked out of the game for the final time, the Cassell Coliseum crowd erupted in a deafening ovation. Fans stood on their feet, clapping, cheering, and chanting her name as if they never wanted the moment to end.
What made the tribute even more powerful was the way Amoore embraced it — placing her hand on her heart and waving to the crowd with tears streaming down her face. It was a raw, emotional farewell to the arena she’s called home for the past four years.
“I couldn’t have dreamed of a better way to go out,” Amoore said, her voice shaking. “Virginia Tech has given me everything — a family, a second home, and memories I’ll carry forever. I just hope I gave back as much as this place gave to me.”
Breaking Records and Shattering Expectations
Amoore’s numbers alone would be enough to etch her name in Virginia Tech history books — but it’s the way she played the game that made her truly unforgettable.
She leaves the program as the **all-time leader in assists** and one of the top three scorers in school history. Her signature crossover and fearless three-point shooting became must-watch moments, drawing comparisons to some of the greatest point guards in women’s basketball history.
Perhaps her most iconic performance came during the 2023 NCAA Tournament, where she put the team on her back with a string of clutch performances that carried the Hokies to the Final Four.
“She’s got the heart of a champion,” Brooks said. “There’s no doubt in my mind — Georgia Amoore is going to have a long career in the WNBA. Whatever team drafts her is getting a superstar.”
The WNBA Is Calling — And the World Is Watching
As Amoore prepares to take the next step in her basketball journey, the WNBA spotlight is already shining bright on her.
Multiple WNBA scouts were in attendance during her emotional farewell game, with many predicting she could be a **first-round pick** in the upcoming draft. With her combination of elite playmaking, shooting, and leadership, Amoore’s game seems tailor-made for the professional level.
“She’s got the total package,” one WNBA scout told reporters. “Toughness, vision, shooting — she’s exactly what you want in a point guard. I wouldn’t be surprised if she becomes a fan favorite the second she steps onto a WNBA court.”
Forever a Hokie Legend
No matter where Georgia Amoore’s career takes her next, one thing is certain — she will forever be a legend at Virginia Tech.
Her name will hang in the rafters alongside the program’s greatest icons. Her impact on the program will be felt for generations. And the standing ovation she received on that unforgettable night will echo inside Cassell Coliseum long after she’s gone.
“Georgia’s legacy isn’t just about the records she broke — it’s about the way she inspired everyone around her,” Brooks said. “She showed every little girl watching that you can be small, you can be overlooked, and you can still become one of the best players in the country through hard work and heart.”
The Final Bow
As Amoore walked off the court for the final time, she looked up at the crowd one last time — her hand still pressed against her heart.
The fans knew they weren’t just watching a great player. They were watching a legend — a player who gave everything to Virginia Tech and left the program better than she found it.
Georgia Amoore’s story isn’t over — it’s just entering its next chapter. And if her time at Virginia Tech is any indication, the best is yet to come.
Forever in our hearts
Next stop: the WNBA.
