AUSTELL — Asia Adams caught a bit of the pageant bug after entering and winning a competition as a 9-year-old in Hawaii. Now living here and attending McEachern High School, 14-year-old Asia indulged that bug recently to grand effect. She was crowned American Miss Georgia Junior Teen Cover Girl in the state pageant held at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel in Atlanta.
“On a whim, Asia entered a pageant in Hawaii, and she won that one,” the teen’s mother, Deleen Adams, said in a phone conversation. “After we moved here, I don’t know how (pageant officials) got word that we’d moved, but they reached out. Asia entered and did very well.”
