WALNUT COVE — South Stokes’ Rebecca Amos is looking forward to playing basketball, softball and volleyball during her last year of school, hanging out with her people, going to school sporting events and all the other fun senior stuff.
Amos is a four-sport athlete for the Sauras playing basketball, softball, volleyball and running cross country. She helped led her softball team to a conference championship, two conference tournament championships and two regional state playoff appearances. In basketball, a sport she started playing because she lost a bet to boys’ basketball coach Jason Clark, she helped the Sauras to their first winning season (15-12) since 2014-15 and a third place finish in the Northwest 1A.
Rebecca’s post season awards include All-County, All-Conference, All-Tournament and All-District in softball; All-County, All-Conference, and All-Tournament in basketball, All-County and All-Conference in volleyball; and All-Conference in cross country. Amos also plays travel softball for Carolina Cardinals National Chandler 18U.
Amos is a member of FCS/FCA, Beta Club, National Honor Society, FFA, Pep Club, a Junior Marshall, Mu Alpha Theta, and she is a Student Ambassador.
She loves the fact that everyone knows everyone in the Walnut Cove community and that it feels like one big family. She has always felt so loved and supported by everyone there.
Rebecca has verbally committed to Winthrop University to play softball and plans to major in physical education with a minor in coaching.
