An example of the Georgia Fire being more than just "high level softball" is the Jessie James Scholarship. This program which was created in November, 2006, in honor of a former Georgia Fire player who passed away way too young. This scholarship is awarded annually to a player from the Georgia Fire based on the requirements and guidelines of the scholarship.
