03 Feb 2024 Kamryn Allison – Greenbrier (501 Basketball Team 2024)
Kamryn Allison’s senior season hasn’t started the way she had planned, but the Lady Panther post player is working to finish strong.
“I had to get surgery on my hand at the beginning of the season,” Allison said. “My goals are to improve and have fun. Our team goals are to make it to state. We can do this by working together.”
Allison started playing basketball in pee wee as a youth, and “there was no looking back.” From playing in elementary school to making memories with her teammates at the Harding team camp over the summer, she has had the “best time” with her teammates.
“Kamryn sets a great example for our younger players on how to conduct themselves in the classroom and off the floor,” said Greenbrier Head Coach Payton Edmondson. “She’s very supportive of her teammates and leads on the floor and in the locker room. Her grades and class load are great examples of her work ethic. She’s very involved in numerous school activities and leadership roles in student organizations.
“Last season, she provided us with depth in the post. She understands our system and provides great leadership to our really young team. She’s battling through some injuries right now, but should be healthy by conference season and provide us with much needed depth again in the post position.”
Allison is a member of Beta Club, Lifesavers, book club and Health Occupations Students of America. She volunteers at her local animal shelter and plans to pursue a career in dermatology.
