Quotable: “Kayla has really just burst on to the scene,” Perry Central coach Randy Napier said. “She was raw and a big kid who could play, but now she’s learned how to use that big strong body, and she has become just an absolute force inside. I don’t know anybody in the state that can take her one-on-one in the paint. She’s just so physical and fast for that size.”
