Senior moment
CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR VOLLEYBALL PLAYER KIMMIYAH WOODARD
It’s hard to imagine her not smiling.
“I think I’m outgoing and positive,” she said.
And that demeanor doesn’t change when the senior Lady Dragon gets on the volleyball court for Clinton High School.
It’s who she is.
She has one pre-game ritual — whenever the Lady Dragons start warming up fellow senior Abby Bowling has to be in front of her in the line.
“I’m not sure how that started,” Woodard laughed.
She said she has a lot of nicknames, but the one her teammates have stuck her with seems to be the one most used: “Kamika.”
Another laugh, “Don’t ask me why.”
She’s played volleyball for five years and prefers to play against teams she’s not familiar with. She said there is a little more pressure to have a great game when you go against people who know you.
