From the sidelines: Kiana, we call her Smiley not just because of her nickname, has stormed the team and commanded a starting position as a freshman. She is leading the team in game blocks, hitting percentage and 2nd in blocks. She went from JV to starting varsity in one week and never looked back. She is a leader on and off the court and we are looking for big things from our Freshman Smiley. The only freshman on varsity.
