Former South View basketball player Amber Calvin transfers from N.C. A&T to Fayetteville State

FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina -- Amber Calvin led South View to the state 4-A girls' basketball title in 2007 with a 32-0 record.

Now, she's coming back to Cumberland County to join the roster at Fayetteville State for her senior season.

Calvin, who spent the last four years on the squad at North Carolina A&T, confirmed Monday she's transferred to FSU and will be on coach Eva Patterson-Heath's team this fall.

Even though Calvin will only be with the Broncos one season, Patterson-Heath expects her to fit in perfectly and make an immediate impact.

"We really didn't have a consistent 3-point shooter last year, and Amber can knock it down,'' Patterson-Heath said. "She's going to bring Division I experience, which includes a work ethic we always want to instill in our players.
