“Kahleah is one of the most athletically gifted players I have ever coached. The way she can maneuver through an opponent’s defense to the basket to score is mesmerizing. Kahleah also possesses a strong mid-range jump shot and has added the three-point shot to arsenal as well. In addition to her offensive skills, she is also strong on the boards. Kahleah has worked hard throughout her career and has all the tools to succeed at the next level.”
