In 2018, she was named DeWitt’s Female Athlete of the Year before accepting a full-ride scholarship to play basketball at Wayne State University.  George earned her way into the starting lineup as a freshman, but injuries limited her time. After an impressive sophomore season averaging 11.4 points and 9.0 rebounds, she started her junior year averaging an amazing 22.3 points per game while shooting 54% from the floor, but her season ended with another knee injury. George returned five games into her senior year, averaging 13.3 points per game on her way to earning First Team All-GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) honors.  She still holds a Wayne State record for most points scored in a quarter (18) during a game her senior year against Ferris State University where she also recorded a career-high 34 points.  Over her career as a Warrior, she scored in double figures 46 times. She was also a three-time GLIAC All-Academic Excellence honoree.
