“Winning districts, playing Washington at the level we’re capable, it brought our confidence up,” said Crowell, who led the team – and the area – in kills with 257 heading into postseason play.

The pair has traveled many miles in life before landing in Gulf Breeze. Jasmine, the lone daughter of Denise Crowell, was born in Winter Haven and, for a time, lived in England before moving to Gulf Breeze in the sixth grade.

Jasmine was a cheerleader before trying out for volleyball for the first time – just four years ago. At six-feet tall, Crowell had only one year of volleyball experience under her belt before making the varsity team as a freshman, along with current GBHS teammates Lauren Alverson and Alison Milam.

“As a junior, she’s already surpassed anyone at Gulf Breeze during my time here,” said sixth-year head coach Waynn Sellers said. “There’s just no limit to how good a player she can be.”

Crowell has the chance to be the third GBHS player to sign with a Division I school since 2003. Kalyn Hundley signed with Quinnipiac six years ago. Chelsey Adams, a 2005 GBHS grad, signed with Nicholls (La.) State after two years at PJC. Celia Eddy signed with Elon (N.C.) University earlier this spring and is enrolled there now.

Crowell already has visited South Alabama, Jacksonville University and the University of North Florida. The list of schools interested is close to 30 and includes schools from the Southeastern Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference and Ivy League.

“I don’t want a small school. I want a big school with a football team,” said Crowell, who plans to major in some area of the medical field.

“As far as volleyball goes, I want a school where I can fit in with the girls and the team and the coaches. I don’t want to go to such a big school where I’m just a number.”

Denise Crowell also wants her daughter to look into Elon, where Eddy plays, and Liberty University in Virginia. Jasmine is hoping to visit more in-state schools like the University of Miami, Florida State University, Florida International and Florida Atlantic.
