Local high school basketball fans may know Jenna Staiti as perhaps the greatest talent to ever come out of Forsyth County. Staiti was a promising swimmer growing up, but her height prompted some to steer Staiti toward basketball going into high school. She blossomed at West Forsyth, eventually being named Miss Georgia Basketball in 2016 as the best girls player in the state.
