Georgia Amoore led Virginia Tech to its first ACC title and now its first Final Four. She has scored at least 20 points in her last six games and has made more 3-pointers in four NCAA Tournament games than anyone in women’s college basketball history. It’s all thanks to her dedication and hard work, and her parents, who were there to cheer her on from the crowd.
But who are Georgia Amoore’s parents? Read on to find out.
Who are Georgia Amoore’s parents?
Georgia Amoore was born to parents Phil and Kelly Lee Amoore. They are her biggest fans and number one supporters. It’s no surprise that they flew to Dallas to watch their daughter play in the Final Four.
Reaching the Final Four is an accomplishment in itself, and Georgia has broken out in a big way as Virginia Tech’s most important player in the program’s historic 2023 season. In 15 wins to that point, Georgia has scored 19.3 points and 4.7 assists per game while shooting 38.5 percent on 10.4 3-pointers.
But Georgia didn’t get off to a great start that season, coach Kenny Brooks said. As the Hokies brought new players into the 2023 rotation, Georgia held back instead of letting its talent shine. “Georgia took a little step back early last year and early this year because when you bring in transfer players, you don’t really have a rhythm with your team, and she took a step back because she wanted to facilitate them,” he said.

Phil Amoore was Georgia Amoore’s loving father, and he always supported his daughter’s basketball interests. “When she was about 13, we put a basket in the barn, and at 9 o’clock at night, she’d go out there and shoot,” he recalls. “A spray bottle for the 3-point line on the floor and things like that.”
But his little girl is no longer playing in the backyard. She is now Virginia Tech’s most important player this season.
Phil Amoore is believed to have been born in 1970. That would make him 53 years old in 2023.

Meet Kelly Lee Amoore, Mother of Georgia Amoore
Kelly Lee Amoore is Georgia Amoore’s beloved mother and her rock. “Did you know we were coming?” she said after surprising her daughter at the Fina Four.
“I was like, no. Honestly, no. It was like a 16-hour nonstop flight,” the basketball star recalled. “But they came here, and I was so happy for them to experience this because it was a whole other level — like our home games are great, but oh my gosh, this stage is incredible.”
Kelly Lee Amoore is believed to have been born before 1973. That would mean she would be at least 50 years old in 2023.
Her family members include Lisa James (sister, OGB Ballarat), Jo Dee Lee (cousin), Rebecca Amoore (cousin, senior laboratory assistant at Box Hill Hospital) and Kerrie Beacham (sister-in-law).
Kelly Lee Amoore is co-owner of Sylvan Lodge. She opened the equine center with her sister Anita in September 2018. Her company provides pre-training, care, and rehabilitation services for horses.
Growing up working in her father’s racing stables from a young age, Kelly spent decades tracking, tacking and saddling horses in preparation for racing. Naturally, Kelly became experienced in every aspect of thoroughbred training and racing. She is passionate about every horse she cares for and, like her father, has an uncanny, intuitive ability to spot any small issues that may arise that could affect a horse’s fitness and health.
