Mulvane senior guard Kierra Cain has made major strides for the Wildcats throughout her career.
“Kierra is a competitor by nature,” head coach Nicole Peschel said. “She put in a lot of work in the offseason to put herself in a position to make an impact for us this season. She can be a defensive stopper and has stepped up at times this season and knocked down some big shots for us.”
The senior is a do-it-all all guard for the Wildcats who is averaging seven points per game, two rebounds per game, two assists per game, and nearly three steals per game.
“My biggest strength on the court would be on the defensive side. I am a very aggressive defender and have made many steals during the season,” Cain said. “Another strength I have is my passes, I have assists on the season that have helped us in many games.”
Cain has been playing basketball since she was in third grade and has always had a competitive edge that made her special.
“Being competitive also means a lot to me, ever since I was little I would always get very competitive and aggressive every basketball game I had, and I think it’s a great skill to have when we need a stop,” Cain said. “Some of my personal goals for the season would be to create more shots for myself on offense and be a leader. My goals for the team this season would be to make it far in the postseason, and not give up.”
