Kemp on Bowling
"Keeping local players in the area is important to me and I am excited to have Cara join our program. Cara is a hardworking player who can do a little bit of everything. She is a very tough competitor that wants to win and compete each time she steps on the floor. Cara can shoot the short to mid-range jumper and she is always working to improve her game. Having her on the wing provides us with another threat and gives us depth at that position."
