We’re excited to welcome Colbie “CoCo” Patterson to the Armor Elite Premier Branch/Perry family!

Hailing from Royston, Georgia, CoCo is a Class of 2030 athlete who brings tremendous versatility to the field.

Her speed allows her to impact the game on both offense and defense, and her relentless hustle makes her a difference-maker every time she steps on the field.

What stands out just as much as her athletic ability is her attitude. CoCo competes hard, stays positive, and is the kind of teammate every coach wants in the dugout.

We’re excited to watch her continue to grow and can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish in an Armor Elite uniform.
