LYNCHBURG, Va. – Avery Mills, a high-scoring guard at Liberty Christian Academy, will not have to go far to attend college, as she has signed a national letter of intent to attend Liberty University for the 2024-25 academic year.
Avery Mills (G, 5-9, Lynchburg, Va.)
Mills has already scored more than 2,000 varsity points as she enters her senior season at Liberty Christian Academy. She has averaged more than 22 ppg during both of her seasons with the Bulldogs, including 23.0 ppg a year ago. Mills helped LCA win its first-ever regional title, garnering first team all-state and Lynchburg News & Advance Player of the Year accolades.
Mills was also a first-team all-state performer as a sophomore at Liberty Christian Academy, dropping in 22.3 ppg. She began her high school career at Winston-Salem Christian in North Carolina, averaging 7.0 ppg for one of the nation's elite squads.
"When it came down to choosing a school to continue my next four years of basketball and education, Liberty University was a no-brainer," said Mills. "From the amazing coaching staff who invested their time into my life, to the unmatched culture and values of the team and university as a whole, no other school could compare and I'm so thankful and excited to be a Flame!"
