Kya Taylor '20 Recruiting Profile

I am a family person. I am all about my family because they have molded me into the hard working student athlete I am today. I have always loved basketball. I started playing at the age of 4. As I got older, I found interest in the Women's National Basketball Association. To play like or be better than Candace Parker has been a goal of mine. This sport has shown me what type of person I am and has brought me out of my shell. For high school academic goals, I am pushing to get a 3.7 GPA or higher so I can be apart of the National Honors Society.  On January 27th, 2017, I tore my ACL and meniscus. I had a very rough road to recovery that lasted 10 months. I stayed positive and with hard work and dedication I am back on the court.  I love contact and playing in the post. I can play on the block and can shoot in the midrange areas on the court. I can handle the ball if I need to. I make a difference because I never stop working on getting better.
