Before she throws on her game jersey, Caroline Hearn will spend time sitting in the stands at Forsyth Central on a week-day afternoon, attentively watching the junior varsity team run up and down the floor. She’ll break down every play in her head, notice the smallest details and crack a few grins. Hearn remembers being on the floor for those earlier games, where the ball seemed a bit slipperier, the lights brighter, the whistles louder and the pressure—much higher.
