Coach’s quote: “Kinley has had a great career here at Cambria Heights, but she has really had a breakout senior year. She has scored 400 points this year and has been a difficult player for opposing teams to stop during our run through districts.

In the district semifinal, she was the best player on the floor, scoring 22 out of the 35 points for the Lady Highlanders. In the championship game, she was the high scorer of the game with 25 points. Kinley’s leadership has been key to our success and it is nice to have a coach/leader on the court.

Kinley’s presence will be missed next year, but many of our young players have gained a lot of useful knowledge from her which will help us in the future. ” – Cambria Heights girls basketball coach Eric Thomas Favorite subject: Principles of engineering Favorite movie: “Pitch Perfect” Favorite book: “One of Us is Lying” by Karen McManus Favorite food: Pizza Favorite teacher (subject taught): Mrs. Manack (principles of engineering) Favorite song: “Semi-Charmed Life” by Third Eye Blind Favorite app on your phone: TikTok Outside interest: Hanging out with friends If you were an animal, what animal would you be and why?
