The many faces of Amanda Fabrizi.

She was never one to shout and proclaim herself as the best.

Which never disguised how good she really was.

Former Wolf basketball/volleyball star Amanda Fabrizi didn’t make a play for the headlines or the photo ops, she just worked, and worked, and worked some more.

And it paid off, in a career that was capped with a particularly stellar senior hoops season in which she buried one dagger after another from long distance.

A superb outside shooter who could also be quite deadly with a lil’ running hook shot, Fabrizi, who celebrates her birthday today, was money.

Tough and gritty on the court, and a sweetheart off, much like her hard-court running mate at the time, Breeanna Messner, Fab was deceptive.

Other teams sometimes figured the duo for pushovers, mistaking quiet confidence for timidness.

It was a mistake they never made twice.

Fabrizi was relentless, crashing hard to the hoop, daring the other team to put her on the line with the game at stake.

Back up, though, and she’d bury the trey over your head.

Now, as she navigates college life and pursues being an orthopedic surgeon, her work ethic is still remarkable.

And, while Wolf fans don’t see her up close and personal like they once did, we all still wish her the best.

Happy birthday, Miss Fabrizi.

May it hit nothing but net, just like you always did.
