Coach's Comments: 

Kia is a returning starter on this season’s team. Last season he earned 2nd Team All OEC while averaging 12.4 points per game. He is one of the best athletes on the court and uses it to provide an advantage over his competition. Kai will bring an offensive mentality to the team as he can score at all levels. He can shoot the three, get to the basket, and shoot a pull up. His leadership and direction will be a valuable resource.
